PDF File in a dashboard - server Qlik

Sun_1991 — Fri, 24 Oct 2025 09:09:31 GMT

Hello everyone,

I have developed a Qlik Sense application and now that it's completed I have added a button that allows users to download a user manual (pdf file).

I would like to host the file on the Qlik server so that I don't need to grant all users to my personal drive space.

How can I proceed? I'm using Qlik Sense Enterprise.

Thanks a lot for any advice!

Hi @Sun_1991 , You can create a Mashup for the same.

Hi @Sun_1991 ,

You can store your files inside Qlik Sense Content Library.
Go to Qlik Sense QMC > Content Library and create a new Content Library.
Inside your Content Library you'll find a section tab on the right called Contents. Go there and upload the files you need. Note the URL path of the files.

Now you can combine this URL path with your Qlik Sense URL and you will have a full URL ready to share with your users. Example: https://your-qliksense-url/content/Mark%20Costa%20PDF%20Test/f1072c22-0581-48b2-a489-bdf26cf6f492.pdf
