Hi vijeta, you'll need to place the pdf in a path all computers understand, something like:

\\SharedServer\SharedFolder\Document.pdf

Hi, You'll need to place your pdf in a shared folder, so both, server and user computer, recognizes using the same path.

Sorry but I don't know how to explain more, that's a operating system configuration, if you know who controls that on your company, ask for the creation of a shared folder to put the pdf and ask him/her what is the path to access that resource.

That path should have a format like "\\SharedServer\SharedFolder\Document.pdf", this is what you need to set on the launch action.

Hi Vijeta, sorry but I don't know what to say, I have this on some documents, from Qv desktop it opens the pdf on the application set to open the pdf documents. When I open it from access point it opens the pdf in the web browser.

If I do that outside QV, opening a new tab in the web explorer and I set the path in the url text box, it opens the pdf. You can try this, check if you can open the pdf using web browser (Firefox, Internet Explorer, Chrome...).
