I’m trying to display a pdf. The app I’m trying to create should display a list of song titles and if the title (link) is clicked should display the song lyric. I have tried a couple of solutions from the forum but both require a full python environment. As a hobbyist coder I would struggle to find £120/year. Does anyone have a suggestion as to how I can achieve this?
You don’t describe what you’ve already tried, so it’s hard to give specific advice. But you shouldn’t need a paid plan just to display a PDF in the browser. You should be able to use the embed tag like you would in any HTML page, with the source pointing to the URL for a media object that contains the PDF.
Yes, assuming that you already have the PDF file you want stored in a table, in a MediaObject column, then you don’t need a paid plan.
If you’re trying to generate a PDF file on-the-fly, from lyrics stored as plain text, then there’s more work involved, but it still doesn’t necessarily require a paid plan.
