How to display a SharePoint document inside an iframe component in PowerApps

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by khedidja90 38
Hi, I created a PCF Iframe component in a PowerApps Canvas app to display a SharePoint document inside it (I’m using the library as the data source). To my surprise, the document only appears in developer mode, but nothing is displayed for end users. According to my research, SharePoint blocks documents from being displayed inside an iframe.

Is there any way to display a SharePoint document inside my Canvas app, knowing that I don’t want to use the PDF Viewer since it’s still experimental?

    You have straightly greyed out the PDF viewer option. PCF is the only option then.

    Security policy like the X-Frame-Options header or Content Security Policy (CSP) blocks SharePoint online to embed its documents inside iframe. Reason becauase PCF iframe component shows the document in developer mode (where some restrictions may be relaxed) but not for end users.
     
     
    One of the three steps may help you to display the document:
     
    1. Use SharePoint File Viewer Control Instead of Iframe 
    2. Use SharePoint Embed Web Part or Embed Link .
    3. Open Document in a New Tab or Dialog
     
     
    Here is a method to view file directly in power aps from sharepoint library.
