Hi kppatel,

You can get the content of the file ( byte ) using API, and then use javascript in a html widget to show the content as you can do in any webapp

Cheers

Hi kppatel,

There is this method in the API (ProcessAPI). [http://documentation.bonitasoft.com/javadoc/api/6.3/index.html](http://documentation.bonitasoft.com/javadoc/api/6.3/index.html)  
  
byte getDocumentContent(String storageId) throws DocumentNotFoundException

ProcessAPI processAPI = apiAccesor.getProcessAPI(); return processAPI.getDocumentContent(getLastDocument(processInstanceId,"documentName").getContentStorageId());

This will return the byte of the file, with this data in a variable, you will be able to show in html. Only do a quick search on Google (or your fav search engine…) about how to show a byte in html. Be careful about browser compatibility

Here you have more info about docs, may be is useful too

Note ‘Cheers’ is not my name 🙂 is Pablo
