Display a Preview of a PDF document

sect55Oct 15 2015 — edited Oct 16 2015

APEX 4.2

Oracle 11g

I would like to allow the user to display a preview of a form (document) before they email or print it.

I have a database table called FORMS_LETTERS. The table contains all the forms that can be distributed.

FORMS_LETTERS_definition.gif

i create a page that contains one region with two items. The first item (Pxxx_ID) contains the ID of the table, The 2nd itme (Pxxx_DOCUMENT) is a display_image item that I would like to display the pdf; the source is BLOB_CONTENT.:

DOCUMENT_BLOB_field.gif

When I run the page, I get the following screen. I need to right click and choose View Image to Preview the document. I want to preview it automatically (i..e, without right click and clicking on view image).

How do I accomplish this?

Robert.
