WebViewer Version: 10.0.1
The default behavior of clicking on attached pdf file is to download it. I need to open it in the viewer instead of download it.
Is there any way to alter clicking on attached file behavior.
Regards!

Hello Senussi,
Thank you for your patience.
We have added the ability to open attachments in a new tab in multi-tab view mode, in the latest version of the WebViewer (that being version 10.3). You can check the Changelog here:
Also, you can download the latest version here:
And the latest React.js sample here:
Please let us know if there is anything else we can help you with.

Hi @bjovanovic
thanks for your answer.
I’ve tried the newer version with multitab enabled, but still same behavior of downloading instead of open in a new tab as mentioned in the release notes. also still i can’t find any changes in the API that makes me able to change that behavior.

Hello Senussi,
You can enable multi-tab mode with the following code snippet:
instance.UI.enableFeatures([instance.UI.Feature.MultiTab]);
When you click on a attachment, you should be able to see the new icon, when hovering over it, it should say “View File”. Check the image below:
Im using the latest React sample you can download here:
All the best,
Bojan
Thanks for reply.
I meant opening attachment on click on attachment from attachment panel. as it shown in the attached screenshot. that still downloads the attached file on click.

We have the same need.
As a workaround for now, we ask our users to add attachments to PDF via annotations, but this doesn’t work with legacy documents or documents made with other tools.

Hello Senussi,
We have also tried it with attachmentPanel and it also works, as you can see from the attached video (We have attached a couple of screenshots to a pdf file, but it also works with attached PDF files). We are using latest React.js sample (version 10.3) you can download from here: GitHub - PDFTron/webviewer-react-sample: Sample to demonstrate integrating WebViewer into React
Can you please check if this version solves the issue you are having, if not, can you please provide us with a minimal reproducible sample?
All the best,
Bojan
