Hi Everyone,

My project is about display PDF from SharePoint Document Library. Created a Gallery by listing the Files from selected Folder.

Used PDF viewer to display the selected PDF.

OnSelect from Gallery Control:

UpdateContext({viewPDF:true});
Set(selectedPDF,Substitute(Gallery.Selected.Thumbnail.Large,"transform/thumbnail", "transform/pdf" ));

Document from PdfViewer:

selectedPDF

and tried

Substitute(Gallery.Selected.Thumbnail.Large,"transform/thumbnail", "transform/pdf" ))

Getting error.

Clicking 'Open in my browser instead', getting this json.

{"error":{
 "code": "notSupported",
 "message": "csv",
 "innererror": {
 "code": "InputFormatNotSupported"
 }
}}

Where if I used Link to Item.

I can't view from PdfViewer. But when I click on 'Open in my browser instead' It opens the pdf.

I followed @Reza Doraini guide from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vqK29FWbLxU&t=813s

I am stuck in with this issue now. Anyone have any idea what I missing please help me out.
Thanks.

Hi @AIDENMJ ,

Please try:

1\Create a flow(BofFlow0804):

datauri(base64ToBinary(body('Get_file_content')?['$content']))

2\Insert the flow into your app:

3\OnSelect from Gallery Control:

UpdateContext({viewPDF:true}); Set(selectedPDF,BofFlow0804.Run(ThisItem.Identifier).thepdf)

I think this link will help you a lot:

Hi sorry for late reply,
I prefer not use flow. It'll be another point of failure I afraid. I want just powerapp & sharepoint connection. MS Flow needed to be monitored and everytime my password changed I need to reconnect the connections.
