Hello,

how can I download a .pdf file and make it read-only in Outsystems?

Thanks!

As I understand it, you want to a) download a PDF and b) convert it to read-only in OutSystems. There is no built-in utility for this conversion. However, there are several .NET libraries (both paid and free) that can handle the read-only conversion. For this, you would need to create an Extension using Integration Studio, where you can consume the library, convert the PDF content, and return the converted PDF. I hope this provides the clarity you need on your problem.

Hello  @Lucas Sebastian Dereani 

You can use this download widget to download a PDF by providing binary data and naming the file as File-name.pdf.

Hi @Lucas Sebastian Dereani

If you download file in Reactive Application than there is a option (download) like this:

File Content : You have to set Binary Data

File Name: File Name with Extensions Like:

if you want pdf doc than write file Name: "sample.pdf" or if you want excel than write file Name-:"Sample.xlsx"


Note:

In Mobile App - lots of Forge Component is Availed to download File so you Can used that:


Thanks
