Hi,

so I've tried this but can't get the PDF to display.
Got the JS Field & page:

(function(){
$("#tdf_26").html($("#tdf_26").text().replace(/{{/g,"<").replace(/}}/g,">"));
$("#tdf_27").html($("#tdf_27").text().replace(/{{/g,"<").replace(/}}/g,">"));
})();

Got the field to display

var text URL = "https://docs.google.com/gview?url="; & URLRoot() & "up/" & Dbid() & "/a/r" & [Record ID#] & "/e30/v0&embedded=True";
//"<embed src=\"" & $URL & "\" height=\"650\" width=\"900\">"
"<iframe src=\"" & $URL & "\" height=\"650\" width=\"900\">"

But get this error:

Help?!

You need to change the properties of the file attachment field. you need to 'Allow open access'
