Auto show PDF file

AppSheet AppSheet Q&A

Hello everyone!

I’m developing an application on AppSheet with the purpose of presenting PDF files (which are standard product files) on a large screen in the production area, so that workers can view them during the manufacturing process. However, I’m facing some unresolved issues as follows:

  1. In AppSheet, is there a way to open a PDF file in a detailed view mode?
  2. Is there a way to automatically switch items randomly or according to a specific setting?
  3. If the above two methods are not feasible, currently I’m opening the PDF file using a link provided by AppSheet. Since my PDF file has multiple pages, is there any useful method or utility to present and automatically switch pages within that PDF file?

I would greatly appreciate any solutions or suggestions from the community to address these challenges.

Thank you very much.

What do you mean by “detailed view mode”?

automatically switch items randomly or according to a specific setting?

Like on a timer without any user interaction? No. Maybe you can elaborate on your requirements here?

is there any useful method or utility to present and automatically switch pages within that PDF file?

No.
