Adding a button in view is not currently supported in Constellation. However, the requirement can be achieved using a link, which aligns with the recommended approach.
Please refer to the following community post: https://community.pega.com/conversations/user-experience/preview-pdf-in-constellation
In that, Method 2: Preview PDF on click of a link (Partial view) appears to be the most suitable solution for this use case.
Implementation Steps
-
Import the Constellation DX Component into your application.
-
Navigate to the DX Components tab under the Library.
-
Enable the Display PDF component.
-
Use this component in your view and configure it to open the PDF in a partial preview when the link is clicked.
