PDF Thumbnail Preview within taskade
under review
Gian Singh Sarao
Currently, if a pdf is uploaded, it doesn't have a preview as shown in the attached image. In the attached image is also a random png, which does have a preview, and this is the behaviour i'm requesting.
When working with lots of PDFs, a built-in viewing system is essential, because otherwise the pdf has to be downloaded first to open in a different application, breaking workflow. Although on desktop, using the taskade web app, the pdf is displayed in a new tab, but on mobile this is not the case.
I saw a different feature request also asking for annotations (for pdf and images) which I have upvoted already, but this feature request is just about the previews. If this would have been better as a comment, then this can be merged or deleted.

Thumbnails of image attachments work how I would think PDF thumbnails would end up working, and wanted to throw these up for reference, with my up-vote.
- Basecamp (project Docs & Files view)
- Hey.com (All Files view)

yolk: Thank you for these examples! They're helpful. There's a react library for everything nowadays, too. I'm assuming some of these take the first page of the document and display it as a thumbnail preview.

Narek Zograbian: of course, I am by no means being prescriptive with my examples, I was just hoping to provide some reference :)

I appreciate the suggestions—keep them coming! It really helps our team out.

This is live! You can now preview PDF inside Taskade.
This could be PDFs attached to a task, uploaded into chat, or comments, and they will open preview in Taskade by default.
