How to access a pdf document from qlikview

Tue, 06 Jan 2015 09:55:19 GMT

Hi all,

I have developed an application.

I want to put an icon in the application so that when the user clicks on it a help document opens. How can I achieve this functionality?

Please help.

Thanks and Regards,

Arjun Jain

Try with trigger. Use a textbox/button with an image at the backend. Action type->External->Action(Launch)

I tried this, This does not work in webview.

It works on my machine locally but not when I access the application through a browser.

Yes, in the server environment it would not work that way. Because, from client you won't be able to launch an application in server. Check the link provided by Andre.

Hi Arjun,

You can create a button with action 'Open URL' (in the tab actions).

In the URL box you can fill the path to your document.

Of course that path needs to be accessible for everyone.

Hope this helps
