Question

I would like to open pdf file in my flutter-web project, as long as I know... when I open the pdf, it always navigates me to new tab, is there a way to display pdf inside container of widget flutter? So, far I only open the pdf file by doing this

html.window.open('http://xxxx.pdf',"my_pdf");

I still didn't know how to put it inside widget flutter

    ui.platformViewRegistry.registerViewFactory('iframe', (int viewId) {
      var iframe = html.IFrameElement();
      iframe.src = 'http://www.africau.edu/images/default/sample.pdf';
      return iframe;
    });

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Container(
        decoration: BoxDecoration(border: Border.all(color: Colors.blueAccent)),
