Hello! 

I created a survey for our team which tracks our projects. One of the fields within the survey is a "File" type where users attach PDF files. The survey is embedded within an Operations Dashboard for users to update the survey when necessary. Is it possible to open up the attached PDF within the survey?

It doesn't seem to allow us to do so within the embedded survey.

Any help on this would be appreciated. 

Thanks!

Per documentation, "Media other than images and audio cannot be displayed in your survey."

PDF is an accepted file type under "Document" but cannot be viewed in the survey per above.

@DaveK this related post may have what you're looking for. I'm still trying to get the js file to work but ideally it would pull the attachment url into the survey and allow the user to click on it: https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-survey123-questions/attachments-in-survey123-field-app/m-p/1411...
