@AnnaTorti Yes the pdf viewer is a bit limited in what it can display. That's the reason I have used Download in my App.

Thanks for the hint. I tried but in onedrive thumbnail is not a file property like in sharepoint.
I tried to create a flow and running the GetFileContent I get the file, but the content is not readable by the PDFViewer...
Ideas?
Thanks a lot

It works but not as it should.
The power app must
1) lists items in a onedrive directory
2) selecting an element (pdf file) to show it in the pdfviewer
First point works.
Second point I don't know how I can do. I'm able to download but how i can show the file inside pdfviewer?
Thanks
Anna

@CNT I'm not able to find the parameter for Launch command to open a pdf in one drive, I found only for Sharepoint.
I hope you can help me, I'm close to the solution.
Thanks in advance.
