The PDF field displays a PDF file, either static or originating from a document service.
| Property | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| File source | Document service / Fixed file | Determines which other properties are available. |
| Document service | A document service configured under Tools | The source of the file, when File source is Document service. |
| File identifier | Free text, or a file picker | Identifies the external file (Document service), or picks a fixed file value. |
| Graphical mode | True/False | Desktop only: renders PDFs faster and better. |
| Advanced preview | True/False | Desktop only: enables advanced PDF features, at the cost of loading time. |
| Text (navigator) | Text | Shown at the bottom of the PDF view; {0} is the current page and {1} the total page count. |
| Background (navigator) | Color | Background color of the navigator bar. |
| Font color (navigator) | Color | Font color of the navigator bar. |
When using an external file, test that the file identifier actually resolves to a file, so the field doesn’t try to display something that doesn’t exist.
