New Release from Microsoft v26:Preview PDF attachments directly in web client

Business value

By providing you a smooth and easy way to work with attachments, report outputs, or incoming documents, you remain productive and in the context of your work, which saves time and effort.

Feature details

This feature lets you open PDF attachments directly in the Business Central web client without downloading them first. Files are shown in preview mode in a specialized viewer experience, similar to the print preview feature, and you can always download a PDF file from there.

This feature works automatically across all areas of Business Central, including ISV code. However, it requires an uptake from extension developers because two new AL methods have been added to capture this new behavior, following the pattern of the File.Download method:

  • File.ViewFromStream – for Business Central online
  • File.View – for Business Central on-premises

This feature is now used in various areas of Business Central, such as document attachments and incoming documents.

You may give it a try after your environment has updated to version 26. Contact our support for more information support@nebulaerpsolution.com
