Do you mean that you wanna scroll PDF pages? you will have to upload pages separately… image component is not a PDF reader ---

not possible in Glide (for my knowledge), you need to separate pages and create a carousel column… or use a webview and link to a website that you will host these PDFs ---

I also have it set up to show images and website links, so right now I also have an If Then column set up to search for ‘.PDF’ in the url and if it has it, then I use the wrapped version of the URL. Otherwise I just use the URL in it’s original form. Just a word of c… You can use this with a webview component, but webview component itself is a Pro feature. If you don’t want to upgrade, I guess you can use a button to open the constructed link in a webview environment. ---

I don’t know if it will help but I point my pdfs to an outside server which works flawlessly. Only catch there is I pay for the hosting. Not sure if one of the free hosting platforms would work but it might be an idea as you don’t need a domain name to host on them. ---

Which server do you use to host the PDF?
