Your method still works for me nowadays, and I indeed use it every time I need to embed a PDF.

I have tried all different examples. And I am having no luck just yet. I will update if I find a solution

Get script to create a file in your g drive and save the link in the same row… then you can display it in image element

@Uzo I am not sure which script. I am using Airtable as my data source. Also, I need to have access to then entire document, not just the first page

Oh…always use Google sheets, is the most powerful tool in the world… Transfer your air tables If you dig dip, you will find out… that everything on some point, runs on Google services

So i have found success with using this: https://docs.google.com/viewer?embedded=true&url= (Document URL) I am hosting my document in Airtable. Using a template column to join them. Now, it seems to be okay

If your file is on google drive Use the following link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/ /preview This works in webview embed
