I have several file fields in my tables, but when i go to display the file i can only access it as simple text, i cant use it as a source for web view or any field type except text or image. I want to show the file in a webview as when i show as image i can only see the first page of the pdf.

How are you uploading and storing the file? Glide file upload? If so, you should have no problem putting that into web embed component to display it within the app. Otherwise, you should make sure the link is accessible, e.g. via hosting it on Google Cloud.

I assume this means you’re testing on mobile.

Please use this template URL:

```auto
https://drive.google.com/viewerng/viewer?embedded=true&url=[Your URL here]

```

Then it will work on a web embed on mobile.

Basically Safari somehow thinks all of the PDFs are images. People have had big problems with it.
