Business Central – Preview PDF Attachments Directly in Web Client
By providing you a smooth and easy way to work with attachments, report outputs, or incoming documents, you remain productive and in the context of your work, which saves time and effort.
This feature lets you open PDF attachments directly in the Business Central web client without downloading them first. Files are shown in preview mode in a specialised viewer experience, similar to the print preview feature, and you can always download a PDF file from there.
This feature works automatically across all areas of Business Central, including ISV code. However, it requires an uptake from extension developers because two new AL methods have been added to capture this new behavior, following the pattern of the File.Download method:
- File.ViewFromStream – for Business Central online
- File.View – for Business Central on-premises
This feature is now used in various areas of Business Central, such as document attachments and incoming documents.
If you’d like to discuss more about Business Central’s upcoming changes, or about making the move across to BC, reach out today to Brookland Solutions for a no obligation discussion. Get in touch!
