Hi all,
I’m desperately searching for a way to open a PDF inside of my app. I have been trying/researching for 2 full days now. I’m not a coder/dev so may sound like a dummy. My goal is to open a PDF in my app. I’d prefer to embed a PDF and be able to open and close it right from the app. I am able to link to a Google Drive PDF but I would prefer not to use Drive. I’ve tried embedding pictures of the PDFs but then you’re not able to zoom in or out, which I need. Is there anyone that can help? Thank you so much in advance.

When embedding from Google Drive you need to format your URL like this :

> Hi Ark, Your Drive URL is like this right? https://drive.google.com/file/d/1RkJXfe8soaj2AVSmvJFE1VGPxnPdixAr/view?usp=sharing In here remove the part that after the ID/. Once I removed I get this. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1RkJXfe8soaj2AVSmvJFE1VGPxnPdixAr/ And then add preview there and check the app. At the end the URL will be like this. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1RkJXfe8soaj2AVSmvJFE1VGPxnPdixAr/preview And change the drive URL access to public if you haven’t done it yet!

Thank you
