Any update on this issue?

Hey @jdglacier not yet, can you please let me know your usecase?

[jdglacier]

Hey @dilippitchika, I need to be able to read PDF files from S3 (using the built-in S3 'Read file' command) and display the output base64 in the Document Viewer widget.

These files contain confidential data so public access to the S3 bucket must remain blocked (i.e. I can't just use the file URL in the Document Viewer widget).

@jdglacier you can generate a signed URL for the file with an expiry time and use that to display it in the document viewer

[Nikhil-Nandagopal]

@jdglacier no that is an option in the S3 query under the list files operation

[jdglacier]

@Nikhil-Nandagopal My mistake, I don't know how I missed that. Thanks!

I am not sure if it's the way I am fetching the URL for the document viewer but it seems to complain about a bad URL despite returning a signed-URL from a JS object's function.

@praneetloke 👋 Do you have a base64 URL? How did you manage to get the signed URL from the JS Object? Do you see the evaluated value in the document viewer widget? Are you using a Async JS function to achieve this? Can you show us a screenshot of the error you are seeing?

Assuming 50% of doc viewer + s3 users face this challenge
