Even if you display PDFs in a Web Viewer using a Data URL or local file reference, you are still dependent on a client machine’s PDF capabilities, outside of FileMaker, and it isn’t always pretty. There’s a whole slew of technical reasons why this might happen - they might have been inserted using “Insert File…” instead of “Insert PDF…”, it could be an issue with system PDF software on the machine they were inserted on or the machine they’re being viewed on, it could be an issue with the server’s SSL, the list goes on and on. I’ve recently encountered a couple of situations where FileMaker was unable to correctly display a PDF in an interactive container field. Please read the disclaimer section at bottom before downloading. Feel free to ask, but I can’t promise to provide support for free downloads, you may be on your own. I would not try to use it in any solution you need to depend on.

Sorry, as FileMaker and desktop OSes have changed, this file, which relies on several technologies from several different sources working together, has proven to be not always reliable. Note: This technique should be considered “almost always working”, not “always working” as previously (and wishfully) billed.
