PDF view support Report Server Web Portal
Thanks for the answer on this. So if i understand it correctly you need to upload the pdf-files to report server before you can actually open them? There are no other option for example create links in the web portal to pdf-files that are presented on another storage or server? Why i´m asking is that i´m looking into PowerBi Report Server Web Portal as a solution or "Report hub" for different formats. PowerBi reports, Excel sheets and PDF documents. Do you know if there are possibilites to access programs from the portal also like exe-files?
Unfortunately there is no option at the moment to create links. And there is no option to access exe files directly, and this is unlikely to happen since browsers would not allow this as it's a major security risk.
But the ability to add links is something I think is needed in Report Server.
I actually added this to idea.powerbi.com since I think it would add a lot of value
