Posted on by praneepradee 30

Hey,

 

In Microsoft Dynamics- quotes, pdf of each quote is attached as a note to the quote's timeline.

 

In PowerApps, When the customer logs in with the quote ID (login screen), 

he will navigate to a quote detail screen where he can view 'File name' of the pdf and  a button says : View PDF.

 

On the press of this button he should be able to view the PDF related to the quote on the pdf viewer. 

 

how do I go about it?

please help!

 

Thank you.

    The PDF viewer only works with anonymous access files. So you can't use the PDF viewer directly.  Here's a video that has a workaround for viewing PDFs stored in SharePoint.  If you are storing your PDFs in SharePoint behind the Dynamics environment it may work for you.  Or you may be able to adapt the process to where your PDFs are stored.

    First, you need to find the URL to the PDF that you wish to view, after that you are ready to go!

    Step 1: Add a Content Editor Web Part to the page

    Step 2: Click on the ‘Edit HTML Source’ button for the Content Editor Web Part (not the page)

    Step 3: Add the following code:

    <object><embed src="FILENAME.PDF" height="850" width="850"

    type="application/pdf"></embed></object>
    Where:

    src=The URL of the file, remember to put in a server relative URL to this!

    height = height of the rendered PDF

    width = width of the rendered PDF

    He wants to display the pdf on a screen in a Power App, not in a web page.

    @praneepradee ,

    Also you might want to read the summary in this post of mine.

    I am not sure how/if this would translate to Dynamics storage.
