I've seen a few discussions dance around this topic, but I haven't been able to figure out a final answer - I am wondering if it is currently possible to view a PDF stored in a ThingWorx repository within the context of a Mashup.
I've tried binding the downloadLink of the file into the URL a WebFrame widget, but that just initiates a download of the PDF upon passing in that URL. Likewise, I attempted binding the downloadLink to the Image widget, but it still cannot render (screenshot below from Chrome). I am using the downloadLink as provided by GetFileListingWithLinks - http://localhost:8080/Thingworx/FileRepositories/GeneralRepository/Sorting.pdf, in my case. I also tried using an HTML widget but had no luck there.
Is there any way other than storing this PDF as an image that I would be able to view it in a Mashup? From another discussion thread, I found this URL to a PDF file that I can successfully open within a WebFrame widget. So it perhaps seems that there is a setting on the ThingWorx side that forces Repository links to be downloaded rather than rendered in the browser.
Any information would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Joe
