Hi Colleagues! I have to show PDF invoices in Power Apps Portal (or Powerpages it's the same as I understand). I managed to solve this task by Notes. I got the following:

But I want to show the PDF Content right here. To provide the opportunity to view the PDF before download it.

I found the way to embed a PDF to the page,

but how to address to the PDF which is already exists on the page? (see the previous picture).

Hi @Anonymous,

I have developed a list where I can show invoices as invoice records.
Inside of the invoice record there is a note which contains the pdf attached.
What I do is during creation of the note which contains the attachment, I fill a field with the direct link to the attachment (PDF file).

This allows us to show a invoice list on portal with a direct link field to the PDF-Attachment. Clicking the link opens the PDF separately.
I think this approach should also help you to be able to show the PDF directly within a webpage.

To include a PDF directly, I used following code within a page:

<iframe src="URI.pdf" style="height:1200px; width:820px;border:none" width="100%"></iframe>

Therefore you would only need to create the direct link to the pdf and include the value on this code snippet.

Does this help?

Best regards,

EDIT:
The syntax for the direct link looks like follow:
