I’m trying to get this file through Airtable (PDF file): ![Screenshot_12](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/9/d/9d69f4eef4dabd078deb9fac71ed4cee20774c57.png) But I got this: [object Object] ![ac76b345-ce70-468d-b836-7e2e6c5d0220](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/e/3/e3c874b4b6e364f1ee3ac0222c81eff07b12dcdc.jpeg) Blocks: ![Screenshot_11](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/f/d/fdd157ad995ed6ffeae37e274b48067dab822fde.png) Can someone explain to me? ---

What is the format for that column in Airtable? And what is a sample cell value? It looks like you might have images in that column? **Edit:** it’s an attachment type. So the [object object] is Thunkable’s way of trying to display something that is not text in a label that can only display text. ---

converted to json and the property is “url” ![Screenshot_15](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/6/6/66b265577d5d024ddce8021b4f628dfaaca827cb.jpeg) ---

I’m using this block, but the application breaks ![Screenshot_14](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/1/3/13a8768ebd4072d9ff06aaa30a230338f43c47a0.png) ---

It looks like “url” is not the top-level property in that JSON. Can you post the full JSON response here as text? ---

But if the attachment in Airtable is a PDF, you’re not going to be able to display that in a label. You could try the PDF Reader component instead. If you just need a single JSON property (“url”), we can see if we can figure that out. ---

I managed to solve the problem in a strange way, but it works. - I turned the object into json ![Screenshot_19](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/3/9/39089cd7587cc2bbedc2bccbe46572cdc4235814.png) - I split the list in comma (,) ![Screenshot_20](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/a/6/a6b070a83fa5c8d8e707cc9585a6a0cfaf51622d.png) - The URL file is the second item in the list ![Screenshot_21](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/d/a/da3dbaacf5e2b8c6f59d608109b5575a84f4c847.png) - I removed characters to make the URL clear ![Screenshot_22](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/2/0/20ee075c2d3725bb6294e3e8dee9bfb8cd0e3d4c.png) it’s work ---
