Can you display a PDF from a server (not locally stored)?

12 years ago • updated 12 years ago • 2

I want my app to grab a PDF off a webserver. I know that with the image tag, you have to use "source=" for local files and "url=" for remote hosted files. But in the pdf tag documentation "source=" is the only option listed. I've tried both but it doesn't want to show me my PDF. Any special tips?

Currently the PDF tag doesn't support external PDFs, so the solution here is to load the PDF using a web tag. It will have limited functionality and you can't embed other WIRE inside of the remote PDF.

I currently have a ticket open for this issue.

Hope that helps.

Ah, gotcha. The web tag works for my purposes. Thanks!
