Open PDF File via Link

Hi there.  I'm attempting to be able to click on a filename and have it open in Acrobat (in this case, a PDF).  I've successfully created a link for tracking numbers that opens a webpage.  And I have gotten the PDF file to open in development.  However, when I try via browser, it gives an error that it cannot find the file. 

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

We do this now.  Our preferred method is to use a button that uses the Open URL action to get to a web site.

We also open PDF documents that are stored on our server by using the launch action with filename

The browsers cannot find the file. 

Is the file hosted on an IIS Server?  If so try entering the full URL path for the file in the client's browser http://server1/document1.pdf

It's most likely a permissions issue.
