I have a PDF file I want to show in a form. I see that NG client has a web-component, svyPDFViewer. But, I'm using the webclient.
I've tried using a HTML_AREA with <iframe> and <object> but the HTML sanitizer removes the code.

Code: Select all: Html was modified by sanitizer: Original html: '<html><body> <object data="Image Compression for Upload.pdf" type="application/pdf"> <embed src="Image Compression for Upload.pdf" type="application/pdf" /> </object></body></html>', Sanitized html: '<html> <head></head> <body> </body> </html>'

And trying with iframe

Code: Select all: Html was modified by sanitizer: Original html: '<html> <head></head><body><iframe src='Image Compression for Upload.pdf''>Sorry your browser does not support inline frames.</iframe></body></html>', Sanitized html: '<html> <head></head> <body> Sorry your browser does not support inline frames. </body> </html>'

What is an easy way to show a PDF in a form in a webclient?
Thanks,

Doesn't seem like there is an easy way to do this in the webclient.
So, my alternative was to open the PDF in a new browser window with:

Code: Select all: application.showURL(fileName, "_blank", 'height=700,width=1000,status=no,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no,resizable=yes');

Placed the file in the folder: {servoy_install_path}\application_server\server\webapps\ROOT\servoy-webclient.
The PDF does not contain sensitive data.

Hi Paul,

You can flag the HTML_AREA with the TRUST_DATA_AS_HTML property and then what you tried in your original example should work. In the onLoad event for the form you simply put:

Code: Select all: elements.HTMLAreaElementName.putClientProperty(APP_UI_PROPERTY.TRUST_DATA_AS_HTML, true);

Hope this helps.
Steve
