Add a PDF document to an Add-On Graphic

Add a PDF document to an Add-On Graphic to have the Add-On Graphic display the PDF document on the HMI device.

Prerequisites

(optional) Create bookmarks for the PDF document prior to adding the document to the project.

To add a PDF document to an Add-On Graphic

Open the definition of the Add-On Graphic.

In the Project Explorer
, expand the Assets > Documents
folder.

Drag the PDF document to the definition of the Add-On Graphic. A PDF graphic element appears in the definition of the Add-On Graphic and shows the PDF document.

Tips:

The Select PDF Viewer
dialog does not open when adding a PDF document to an Add-On Graphic.

View Designer

does not support adding a PDF Viewer Add-On Graphic to anther Add-On Graphic.

Dragging the PDF graphic element from the System
