How To Display PDF within a form in a VP

[rbross]

Hello,

I have tried several things but PDF just displays as popup and not part of the VP.
My view consists of a query showing Invoice Header records in the top part of the VP. When an invoice header records is clicked on I need to display the PDF for that invoice in the area below the invoice header query. The view of the PDF should also be able to be resized. Has anyone done this or is this something that would requires a Java Plug-in?

Try exporting the document to a directory and the place html on your form.

<iframe id="pdf" src="<<SystemSettings.InstallPath>>/temp/<<BO.FileName>>" height="800px" width="750px"></iframe>

I have only done this in chrome IE doesn't work very well as it doesn't have its own pdf viewer, not sure about edge. Remove the file once the user has finished.

Using Chrome for the browser.
All I get is the form displayed below the query but no PDF display just the Save and Close buttons.
For testing purposed I hard coded the path to the PDF. This is the HTML I added:
<iframe id="pdf" src="C:\00000\1543078\RogerPF4.pdf" height="800px" width="750px"></iframe>

C:\ should be something like yourdomain.com/YourBusinessSpace

the directory should be under Tomcat/YourBusinessSpace
