2.This specific Widget previously installed, either as described at https://help.bizagi.com/platform/en/index.html?widget_xchange.htm, or as described at https://help.bizagi.com/platform/en/index.html?widgets_manualinst.htm.

 

Data model considerations

In order to use this Widget, you need in your data model:

A file type attribute which holds the attached PDF file you want to display.

 

PDFAttached_datamodel

 

note_pin

This Widget works by displaying one attached PDF per file attribute.

Additionally and while allowing for attached documents with the Bizagi file upload control, make sure that you allow one file at most which is a valid PDF file.

You may rely on the file uploads properties for this purpose:

 

PDF_note

 

Properties configuration

In order to configure this Widget once it is installed in your project, include it in any form and set it properties in the Forms designer, just as you would do with any other type of Bizagi control.

Not applicable.

This property is mandatory.

Take into account that if there is a delay in the loading of the PDF, a loader indicates that it is loading and the buttons are activated only after the PDF is rendered.
