Getting a PDF thumbnail in image gallery from SharePoint list attachments.

Posted on by nemanjasovic011 240

Hello, 

I am attempting to get PDF thumbnail in image gallery from SharePoint list via this URL:

Image = "https://xxxxterprises.sharepoint.com/_layouts/15/getpreview.ashx?path="&ThisItem.AbsoluteUri & "&resolution=6".

As you can see, I am using Image control in the gallery and linking it to SharePoint URL as per this video. 

 

Images do appear, but any other file type will not produce a thumbnail( including PDF).  

 

What am I doing wrong?... and if this is not possible is there a workaround?

    Hi @nemanjasovic011 ,

    Your code is correct and I got the same result in Design studio, however in Play it worked - you might try this.

    Regrettably, it is not working when i have published the app ... could it be that it is some setting at the tenant level ?

    Additionally, when I test the uploaded PDF with PDF Viewer by hard coding the URL I get this...which confirms my suspicion that it might be some setting at the tenant level...if so, please let me know what exactly needs to be done. Thanks.

    Hi @nemanjasovic011 ,

    I have never struck that issue, so sorry, have no idea where to start.

    For anyone wondering several years later: this is a good article about pdfs hosted in SharePoint being displayed in PowerApps. SharePoint requires authentication and therefore is unfortunately not directly accessible by the pdf viewer. The workaround here is a flow.
