in 1Password 7 for Windows

Hi,

Am I missing something? In the Windows client I've figured out how to create a document from a pdf, but once it's created it seems like there's no way to view it within 1Password. I can download it and then view it, but that's way less convenient. If that capability is present how do I invoke it? If not then I suggest that it be added. It would make this feature MUCH more useful.

Thanks,
Mike

    Hi @MikeA01730,

    Thanks for writing in.

    The built-in image previewer we have for 1Password does not support the complex PDF format. We'd like to add support for PDF in the future but they may require a third party library to do so and we're very cautious about adding third party libraries, they may not verifiable secure to do so for our needs.

    The reason we can do this in iOS and macOS versions of 1Password is because Apple has it built into their OS, so that any apps can use it. That isn't entirely the case on Windows.

    MikeT,

    Thanks for taking the time to provide a detailed and complete response.

    I'd like to see the viewer but I'm happy that you're being careful about security.

    Mike

    You're welcome!

    Hopefully, we can find a way to do this and for more formats too.
