If you are working with a canvas app in Microsoft Power Apps and want to display PDF or JPG files from a collection, you can use the PDF Viewer control or the Image control. Here's how you can achieve this:

PDF Viewer Control:
- Add a PDF Viewer control to your canvas app screen. You can find it under the "Media" section in the control palette.
- Set the "Document" property of the PDF Viewer control to the PDF file you want to display. In this case, you would reference the PDF file stored in your collection.
- Bind the "Document" property to a field in your collection that holds the PDF file URL or binary data. For example, if your collection has a field named "PDFFile", you would set the PDF Viewer control's "Document" property to ThisItem.PDFFile.
Image Control:
- Add an Image control to your canvas app screen. You can find it under the "Media" section in the control palette.
- Set the "Image" property of the Image control to the image file you want to display. In this case, you would reference the JPG file stored in your collection.
- Bind the "Image" property to a field in your collection that holds the JPG file URL or binary data. For example, if your collection has a field named "JPGFile", you would set the Image control's "Image" property to ThisItem.JPGFile.

Remember to populate your collection with the necessary PDF and JPG file URLs or binary data so that they can be displayed in the respective controls.

Note: If you are storing the actual binary data of the files in your collection, make sure to properly handle and convert the data to the required format (URL or base64) before using it in the PDF Viewer or Image control.
