Preview PDF selected in fileUpload table in browser

How can I preview a PDF file in the browser when selected in a table in Cuba.
I have managed to save multible files and the Entity is presented in table. The file is saved in file storage.
When I select row in table and press button for show the pdf file I got an error that says:

The code for open file for preview is as following:


Set<DocumentEntity> selected = documentsTable.getSelected();
FileDescriptor fileDescriptor = selected.iterator().next();

pdfViewer.setSource(String.format("pdf-preview%s.pdf", fileDescriptor.getUuid()), new FileDataProvider(fileDescriptor));

Hi,
It seems you’ve not put binary data of files to FileStorage. Could you share a simple project with your code where you are working with uploaded files?

Also please take a look at the example here: [url=https://doc.cuba-platform.com/manual-6.2/gui_FileUploadField.html]https://doc.cuba-platform.com/manual-6.2/gui_FileUploadField.html[/url], where we call FileUploadingAPI.putFileIntoStorage to upload file data to FileStorage.

I have solved the problem. Instead of explaining how I solved the problem, I have attached the project of how I solved my problem. In this example i have made a table of attachments then one button to preview in same form as table and a Download button.

Enjoy
