If I have a PDF file in a blob variable, is there a way to display it without writing it to a file? Currently I am writing to a file and displaying it in the WebBrowser control.

Hi Roland;

  No .. there is no native PB feature for viewing PDF's in PB currently. You would have to use the web browser approach (which I like to do) or use a 3rd party OLE / Active-X solution.

I guess you could start with this link:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/24535799/pdf-js-and-viewer-js-pass-a-stream-or-blob-to-the-viewer

Using this idea you could use an ole browser connection and build the HTML with the PDF data in the page?
