Filemaker download file web viewer

I used a web viewer for years to display PDF files stored on or server windows with HFS to open access to specific user and server path. The web viewer URL is that variable. Work like a charm on JPG… just updated my iphone to Prior I was able to see it in Safari too, not it offers me to download it?! Hello, I tested the behavior that you described on iOS The PDF files were displayed successfully in a web viewer in all test combinations. Which version of FM Go are you using?

Are you using it on an iPad or iPhone? I have my scanned documents on my server, not on the same server as my FMS. Those documents are used by another application and they cannot be hosted on inserted into a container field. Do you think we can find a solution? My understanding is that we can have the server stream the PDF to a container field? How about having a table with a single record with a container field not global and have a server side script to insert the PDF and then switch the FMGo to that layout?

I have another issue, FMA17 on Win10, I can no longer see or interact with a container field that contains a PDF, but this seems to be a problem other users have. Hello Jean-Francois, Thank you for being detailed in your reply. In fact, multiple persons reported the same issue with the Alibaba app and removing it solved the same issue that you described. I suggest the following: — Try to remove apps one by one and test the web viewer behavior after each removal. The parameters of the script step are: Object Name: The defined name we give the web viewer.

Function Name: The name of the JavaScript function we want to run. Parameter: Any parameters we want to pass into our Javascript function. The script step will wait for the JavaScript function to return, if the JavaScript function enters an infinite loop the whole FileMaker solution will come to a halt. When executing the script step, there will be no way for a user to cancel the operation or perform any other operations.

If the web viewer object is not visible the script step will not be executed. Once the script step is called and the JavaScript function runs, error handling will be done through the web browser.

Any errors that occur in the FileMaker solution will be handled in the same way we do error handling now. New to FileMaker Platform. Existing User of FileMaker.
