View PDF via cloud

Hello!

i am currently trying to display a pdf. I have a separate website where our public media is displayed and I display these in the app via the iFrame component.
I would also like to be able to view it if the website is down, and download a pdf of the corresponding page hence I figured a pdf viewer would be the suitable component.
I am not sure how I could properly store it as the cloud I am using doesn't use the .pdf file ending when I create a public link.

Do you have an idea how I could store the pdf files such that I can access them with retool?
I select the media via a table and have a column for internal links (right now these link to the cloud).
The data I have stored in my database.

Thank you in advance!

Hello @Katunga,

You should be able to use Retool Storage to hold the image and its data so that it can be accessed via a PDF component.

While the PDF component is restricted to only being able to display files with .pdf and would thus require some file conversion to work. The image component can work with other file types.

What type of database do you currently have the data stored with?
