New Native PDF Viewer Component for Adalo Apps

By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from DEV Community ·

Adalo developers have long struggled to display PDFs inline in their no-code apps, with existing workarounds like Web View or external links breaking the user experience.

The component also works on web and with dynamic database URLs, addressing all six key requirements for a proper PDF viewer.
