Posted on by Inkey Solutions 114

I have an Attachment component in my Power Apps application, and I need to preview attachments of different file types (Excel, Word, PNG, JPEG, and TIF) using the PDF Viewer component.

I came across the following resources:

Despite following these guides, I haven’t been able to achieve the desired outcome. Is there any alternative method or workaround to preview these file types within PowerApps?

Any suggestions or guidance would be greatly appreciated!

    As per Microsoft definition the PDF viewer (experimental feature) the files which have extension(*.pdf) those only will be preview.
     
    If you want to use the Microsoft Office files that needs to be converted to PDF first then only it can be passed to the PDF Viewer.
