Hi PowerApps Community,
I inserted a PDFviewer into my canvas app but it does not have an Open File control. How do I get this control? Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Adam
Hi @adammmm ,
If you want such a control you'll have to build it and pass it to the PDF viewer.
Perhaps the Attachments control is something you want to use for that:

Here's a very crude version of how things may work:
You will still have to heavily customize the Attachment control to make things look nice, but I hope the mechanics work for you.
Thanks for the response. I found the reason why the open Pdf control is not showing here : https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Building-Power-Apps/Open-PDF-in-Browser-from-pdfViewer-control/td-p/142186
