PDF Viewer

The PDF Viewer allows you to read PDF documents stored in iconik when using a webbrowser. It reads the original file that was uploaded to the storage.

If the Original file is not available due to being on an inaccessible storage or being archived the PDF viewer will not show up.

Please note that the PDF viewer works on desktop browsers only. Mobile devices will open the PDF directly in their native PDF viewer
