> A PDF preview factbox is added to purchase invoice pages to display the original invoice PDF linked to an inbound E-Document, appearing only when relevant and placed above the Incoming Documents factbox.

[Pull request](https://github.com/microsoft/BCApps/pull/9145) · merged into `main` (BC30) on 2026-07-09 by Explorer986 · 6 files (+203 -0), 6 AL · feature · tier official · reviewed (checked by Opus)

## What changed

- PDF preview factbox added to Purchase Invoice, Purchase Invoices, Posted Purchase Invoice and Posted Purchase Invoices pages
- Preview is read-only and shown only when the invoice is linked to an inbound E-Document whose source file is a PDF
- Factbox sits in the Details area above the Incoming Documents factbox
- E-Document Helper resolves the linked E-Document (by E-Document Link for open invoices, Document Record ID for posted) and renders the PDF preview
- No table schema changes or new stored data
- Behaviour changes for users or extensions.
