Hi everyone,

I'm working on a mobile app and I looking for a way to display a PDF file directly from inside the app (not opening the file in another app of the phone) and considering that the PDF was uploaded also from the app (from a pdf file that was already on the phone).

I've been trying several options but I still can't manage to get de PDF displayed inside the app, here's what I have:

• The only way that I have been able to actually view a PDF file inside the app is by using an Iframe with a PDF file preloaded in the resource file and displaying it with Google docs PDF viewer. The thing is that I would need a way to dynamically save/load file in the resource folder and I'm understanding it cannot be done

Here's is an example of this

It looks like this on the phone

• I've also tried using an Iframe to display the PDF, stored in a local DB, with the Base64 information of it. This works when I use it in windows with the app emulator, but when I try it directly on the android phone, the pdf doesn't get displayed.

Here's the detail of this

it looks like this on the phone

• The last thing I'm trying is a mix of the first point, using Google Docs viewer, but with the URL of the pdf file stored in the device's memory (something like "file:///storage/emulated/0/Android/apps.../myfile.pdf") but the pdf is also not shown in the iframe.

It looks like this on the phone

Any idea on how to get this done?,  maybe some work with Resources folder files? or some twist around Google docs viewer and internal storage files/URL

Thank you!!
