Hello Community,
I was trying to use the modern File Viewer web part to display a PDF on a modern page. But for some reasons I just couldn't see any of my PDF file in the Site selector even I am 100% sure files are in this document library.
I end up just copy and past the URL of this PDF to the web part, but is this how it supposed to work?
Does anyone experience the same behavior here?
Thanks

This morning, I ended up by embedding the direct url to the pdf through the "embed" web part. Works like a charm - but is probably not an answer to your question. Just another work around.

@Pieter Op De Beéck Yes, I believe if you use the Direct URL to embed/link/map PDFs, the web parts would work. I just don't understand why PDF is not supported like other Office Documents OOTB... It's such a common file format...

"I think it is just a matter of time ..." As a consultant, I give this answer on a daily basis - because it's mostly true.

Hey John,
Yes, I was able to see PDFs show up in the new File Viewer web part, which is great!

I have other problem with pdf and file viewer. When I upload a PDF, file viewer opens MS Word App and shows the pdf content in it. This is a problem for me because the hyperlinks from PDF doesn't work properly there. Is there any solution for this issue?
