I have Form1 (New mode) and a Gallery1.

There is a need to preview the form's attached pdf file in Gallery1 (Image2) before Form1 is submitted.

Is this possible?

@Phineas ,

If you set the OnSuccess of the Form to

Set( gblID, Self.LastSubmit.ID )

You can preview it after it is submitted by this

"https://yourdomainname.sharepoint.com/_layouts/15/getpreview.ashx?path=" & First( LookUp( YourSPListName, ID = gblID ).Attachments ).AbsoluteUri

but there is no way of previewing a PDF directly from an attachment control (you can only do this with image files)

Please click Accept as solution if my post helped you solve your issue. This will help others find it more readily. It also closes the item. If the content was useful in other ways, please consider giving it Thumbs Up.

Thank you, sir!

We've gone around a similar tree in the past. I wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything.

I was able to do it the image way earlier.

I now understand there is no way to view in a Gallery Image control the contents of a 'New' form attachment in real-time.

The item can be viewed after being submitted as you have provided.
