Viewing PDFs in Power BI Without Exposing URL Links
Hi, I have created a PDF reader app in Power Apps, but it is not opening my PDF URL (which is a public URL). Instead, it is showing 'could not open pdf file ,open in browser'. Please help me resolve this issue.
Super UserHi KomalNagre - If dynamic PDF access is not critical, you can embed the PDF as an image within Power Apps. This approach removes the reliance on external URLs, but it requires manual updates if the PDF changes.
If you're still facing issues with the URL or the PDF not rendering, you can use Power Automate to create a flow that retrieves and passes the PDF content directly to Power Apps.you could store the PDF in OneDrive or SharePoint. These platforms allow embedding PDFs using direct access links that work well with Power Apps.
or Upload the PDF to OneDrive or SharePoint.Get the shared link and ensure it's set to "Anyone with the link can view".Use this link in the PDF Viewer control.
Follow the above approach and let know
