Open PDF in App - Plugin?

#1 · December 23, 2021, 5:05 pm

I have a link to a PDF. I built an app to scan a QR code and read the link. I compiled it for HTML. If I use OpenURL it displays the PDF in a new browser window on my desktop but nothing on my tablet or phone.

How do I display a PDF in app? Is there a plugin? And where might I find more plugins?

Thanks.

@pauljonestindall it should work as you did, but you can use an IFrame object instead to show the PDF file within the IFrame.

SetObjectAttribute "IFrame1" "src" "pdfurl.pdf"

This is great. I had wondered how to show a PDF file.
