I have looked through the manual and it appears that there is two components that i would really like to be able to use. 1) being the PDF Viewer from what i can tell it says that it’s a component but i don’t see it anywhere in designer is this a component that i need to make a script to generate it or should it be showing up under my component palette?

TIA

For PDF Viewer you must install Report module. Even when you don’t have the license for Reporting, you can still use the PDF Viewer…
