PDF preview in Coda?

[Charlie_LA]

Hi Everyone,
I have a query that Coda Support couldn’t resolve, hence their recommended to post it here

I have a Zapier automation setup that automatically uploads a pdf file from Google Drive into a specific cell of a specific table in a specific doc.

I would like to display a PREVIEW (kind of hi-res thumbnail) of this pdf in the cell next to it.
Does anyone have any recommendation how to achieve this?

Thank you!

Hey @Charlie_LA and @Patricio_Anguita_Osorio! This sounds like a feature request the Coda team has been tracking. I’ve added your votes for this feature in the team’s feature request tracker and moved this into the Suggestion Box.

I think this might do that. It’s a combination of Canvas + _Merge() to access the Coda-bound PDF file.
