You can do this using a Flow with a Script Operation

#

or if you implement a custom endpoint that actually runs the same code as you have to implement within the Flow

We don't have proper format to display pdf file? Event don't have pdf previewer?

Rendering a pdf is quite complex 😄 how should it display this within such a small window? what about multiple pages? So sounds simple, but it isn't that easy I would assume

Not render in small window, but in click of response (file name) at least open in new tab or etc..Without preview how does this userful?

I agree, but not everyone needs this, it's a headless cms, not an asset management app, you can extend it by your own display to make it render the PDF just as you would like to have

Last question before close this post: Instead of showing PDF, I was thinking to upload pdf first then specify link, so user can easily redirect. Do we have link facilty?
