Need option to download PDF on click of pdf icon in repeat grid
Hi Guys,
I have been trying to implement a basic functionality where user clicks on a pdf icon on a repeat grid row and it downloads the particular PDF file pertaining to that record/row. The source of the repeat grid is a dynamically generated report definition.
Few questions:
How can we associate a pdf to each record. Would having a column in the RD with the pdf file link on server be fine? As of now I am going to save the pdf files as separate binary files in pega.
2.I have a binary file in Pega with the InsKey as 'RULE-FILE-BINARY WEBWB LICENSEDOC!PDF #20180417T122054.417 GMT'. On click of the icon, I am running the activity @baseclass.DownloadFile and passing the insKey. But it isnt working.
3. When working with binary/text files,how do you provide the File Path. This is to say is the below correct:
FilePath="webwb/Somedoc.pdf"
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Well I got the solution to this.
Add a Run Script action on click of the icon. Ensure that the pdf is a Binary file.
In the action provide function name as ""pega.ui.pdf.view"
Provide the parameters as applicationName and pdfName.
applicationName should be supplied like "webwb".
pfdName should be supplied like "InsuranceDocument".
On click of the icon, a pdf viewer window with the pdf is launched.
Thanks!
