Hi all , Is there any way to upload pdf’s to thunkable . I checked a few tutorials but couldnt understand what will be the upload preset though. If not , if and when that component would be introduced would be very helpful.

a text input which sets a pdf viewer' 's file

I cant understand what you meant . What i asked for was to be able to upload a pdf from the users side

so far in my knowledge you only can upload picture only. for file you need to think other way like java scrip or other external solution. it is frustration for me also.

The PDF Reader accepts a URL so you can use this as an option.

Yes @muneer but what i want is for a user to be able to upload a pdf and i be able to show that. Even Anything javascript would work

Check this [image] - HTML: HyperText Markup Language | MDN elements with type="file" let the user choose one or more files from their device storage. Once chosen, the files can be uploaded to a server using form submission, or manipulated using JavaScript code and the File API. …

Yes @muneer i checked that post and by that i was able to get the name of the pdf file. But what i want is to get the contents or something which i can show in the pdf viewer while viewing

If you are allowing the user to browse a certain server folder and select a name then all what you need to do is to make the full URL from the server path that you already know and the selected file and this URL should be the URL of the PDF Reader component of Thunkable.

You will have to deal with a security issue. All new browsers restricts the path of the file to reduce the risk of malicious acts. You will need an additional library to read the actual path. File path is restricted in HTML and JavaScript and you need to add a library for that.
