How to display PDF in file attachment fields
File attachment fields can show the attached files in forms and reports, but only a few file types are accepted (jpeg and such). Is there a way around this so that PDF attachments can be shown eithe...

I would like QuickBase to be able to display embedded PDFs from my network. I do not know if this is possible.
Side note: Formula - URL field can open files into Chrome, e.g.: "C:\\\\Users\\wesmc\\Desktop\\"&"Empower.pdf"
Using the Magic Buttons app, I have a PDF (file attachment) displaying embedded in a form. I am trying to take it a step further by displaying a file from a hyperlink (to the file on my local network).
Left: Attachment; Right: Hyperlink
I am not sure if this is possible since the file is not actually in QuickBase. The error in the iframe looks like what you get when trying to display the PDF without checking the box "Allow open access" in the Field Properties for the file attachment.
This makes me wonder if there might be a way around this.
Any ideas about whether this is feasible would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Thanks for the response. I just tried EOTI, but I did not make any progress that I can see. Also, thanks for addressing the limitation of access.
