Hi, @fajaradhyaksa :wave:

Currently, as you know the PDF Reader is only for displaying the PDF…
The team is adding more features to the component.

So, I can suggest you a simple work-around steps -

  • Upload your PDF to Google Drive.
  • Generate it’s Shareable link
    Now head over to Thunkable X > Blocks
  • On the screen (where you want to display the PDF) , drag the open link block from control area.
  • Paste the link of the PDF in the text block of the block.
  • Lastly, take the Screen1 opens block, & attach the open link block in it.

:arrow_right: Now, the PDF will open in Google Drive, with all of the important PDF features.

You are good to go :wink:

Thanks :blush:
