It is now possible to view uploaded PDF files without leaving the app, both in the desktop and the mobile apps.

The viewer has the basic scrolling, jump to page, and zooming functionality. Let us know what else you would like to see.

Was there no option to just let the browser, be it on android, edge, firefox, chrome, etc. use the PDF Rendering engine that exists already?

See example below:

Great work!

But some PDFs can’t be rendered for some reason (see screenshot). It is a scanned copy of the document, made by MDScan application.

Uploaded the same file once again, aaaand it is wooorking!

I love the pdf preview snapshot image.
The PDF Viewer is Great!

  • Would love a highlighter in the pdf viewer. Similar to Microsoft Edge.

Don’t know how many users would find it helpful that I would love to see annotation tools for PDF in workflow

Excellent! I’d love to see annotation tools added, like highlighting and adding textboxes. It’d be really cool if you could somehow integrate comments on the text, such as a textbox, with nodes in Workflowy proper - for example as the nodes nested under the uploaded PDF file node
