<div class="markdown_content"><p>No, you can´t. I have only tried different browsers on my PC and then on my HMI device. Unfortunately the device´s browsers did not support pdf file as I needed so I had to switch to *.txt.</p></div>

<div class="markdown_content"><p>My experience is that opening pdf file is very dependent on which browser is used. I have tried a couple of them and only Mozilla Firefox has opened file correctly in same screen. <br/> All other browsers face some issues. Therefor I had to flip my pdf to txt which has not been nice solution. </p></div>

<div class="markdown_content"><p>I am trying to show a PDF in a WebBrowser element. I have the file saved to the drive of the HMI/PLC. I am linking it in the URL parameter of the WebBrowser using the following directory link. <strong><em>'http://localhost:8080/$$sdcard$$/FileName.pdf'</em></strong>. </p> <p>This allows for the program to download without any errors. When I navigate to that screen it is just a white box and nothing shows. I attempted putting the same link in the show parameter and I get a loading icon on my cursor when monitoring the HMI with my PC. Any help is appreciated. Thank you. </p></div>
