@MarijeSchillern we are looking for inline preview attachment without downloading or opening the document in separate window simliar to **pzAttachmentPreview** in theme-cosmos, **Display Attachments widget** just displays attachment names ---

@Kamil Janeczek @RichardMarsot could you please respond? @Satya Bollenkula The default Display Attachments widget only shows attachment names and does not support inline preview. From the documentation: You can consider using the pzAttachmentPreview functionality, which allows for inline previews without downloading or opening documents in a separate window. If your application is migrated from an older version, ensure that you refactor the code to utilize the latest features available in Theme Cosmos. Additionally, you might need to add specific activities to your data page to pull attachments correctly for inline viewing.

@Satya Bollenkulayou would need a dx component to do this. Take a look on recent addition to Constellation UI gallery by @RichardMarsot [https://pegasystems.github.io/constellation-ui-gallery/?path=/docs/fields-display-pdf–docs](https://pegasystems.github.io/constellation-ui-gallery/?path=/docs/fields-display-pdf--docs) This show case how to open pdf in a modal without the need to download it. Example is with modal but in a similar way you can render it inline. ---

@Satya Bollenkula as Kamil indicated this new component was released this week - a PDF binary file or attachment can be provided inside a text property to render the PDF **inline** inside the form or if a DP is provided, the pdf will be shown in a modal dialog. ---
