Bundle info load PDF files

I can't figure out how to embed PDF files using bundle info load, to create a self-contained .qvw that can be distributed as a single file.  Here is a sample that resembles my load script:

T1:

bundle info load * inline [

    name, pdffile

    test, test.pdf

];

After saving and reloading this, I have a listbox object which shows the "i" info icon in the caption.  Ideally, I want to reference the embedded test.pdf using a link expression in a straight table, so that I can click on the link for any name and open the corresponding pdffile, something like this in a table expression:

=name & '<url>qmem://name/' & name

But, even in the listbox, the pdf file will not open.  Instead, when I click on the info icon, I get a dialog box with this:

qmem://<6>/<0><C@PI!>P'F-Y;KDMBU,OVM(>

In the straight table expression, first I get a Yes/No dialog box with this:

Approve application for launch? - qmem://name/test

then when I click Yes, I get an OK dialog with this:

Failed to Launch qmem://name/test

The QlikView Reference Manual doesn't offer any help (pp 495-496).  Does anyone know how to get this to work?

Thanks, but not quite.  The problem is that I want to embed the PDFs in the QVW and have QlikView open the embedded PDFs in a viewer.  But it won't do that.
