You can upload any files from a client machine to Thingworx using the File Upload widget.

For viewing PDFs you can do it if your browser can show it, you can use a Webframe widget or open the PDF in a new Browser.

Not sure if this would fit your use case.

Thingworx File Repositories allow you to get a link to the file, just bind that to the Webframe widget or Image widget.

Hi Pai…which method are you referring to? The only thing I see is ‘GetFileWithLinks’, but that returns an InfoTable.

Sorry, still new to TW. Thanks for your help!

That is the service, that infotable that is returned shows all the files in the repository and an accompanying link to access the file.

Generally we use the concept of selected row to bind it to the webframe or image widget.

Or you must next filter the content to only return what you need.

As a rule, all services that are invoked by a user should be 'wrapped' services that leverage the base services the platform provides.

The problem is if you bind a link or bind a link String to Image widget's SourceURL value, Image will still not show.because Image widget auto append "&__rnd=xxx" string  into image url. What's the problem!!!

Uploading image and dynamically showing in UI:

• You can create a Datatable Thing with a image property inside, use AddDataStreamEntries service could upload images to each row of the entity
• In the mashup, you could use a ValueDisplay widget, and bind the Image property to the widget, the image will show on the runtime, and if you have a Grid or List widget by the side binding to the same Data [GetDataTableEntries], you can control which image to present in the mashup.

Hello Alexander,

I created a simple example of the "uploader" mashup. Sorry, I couldn't find how I can upload it here, so I put it in my Dropbox: https://www.dropbox.com/s/gy2fx891r1otgku/Mashups_Uploader.xml?dl=1
