Hello ,

MS.Ragavendar , MVP-Phipps
i create a canvas app with two button , one to save pdf file to dataverse , the second one is to preview the file in the same page ( preview the file which is stocked in Dataverse ).

@AS-19060729-0,

With respect to the issue which you reported, currently with power-apps there is no option on button click to preview the file.

The file can be previewed only using PDF Viewer control.

Use the PDF Viewer Control:

Insert a PDF Viewer control into your Canvas App. This control can display PDF files stored in your Dataverse.

Retrieve the Document:

Use a formula to retrieve the document from the Dataverse column.

For example, if your document column is named DocumentColumn, you can set the Document property of the PDF Viewer to:

ThisItem.DocumentColumn

If the PDF Viewer control does not meet your needs, consider using other methods such as embedding the document as a media file or converting it to Base64 format
