@Eranda10274 pdf file will be already stored in pega dB-\> data-workattach-file. In your Patient Report DB, you just need to store the case id against the patient name. For eg:- Patient name -\>Philip Case id → C- 45 So if user wants to search for pdf attached to Philip, You first need to get case id of that patient from PatientReport DB, then using that case id you can get attachments linked to that case id using ootb data page. Ootb dpage-\> D\_AttachmentList ---

@Eranda10274 please check if you are using AttachContent control. If you are using filepath control or any widget it works different way. ---
