Link to pdf on other server

kris_vliegen — Wed, 27 Jan 2016 13:58:48 GMT

Hi all,

I would like to create a link to a PDF on an other server then our Qlikview-server.

In my developer tool, the link is working.

But If I try it on my access-point it will not werk.

I've set the representation to "Link"

and this is the definition (xxx.x.xx.xxx is the ip-adress.)

avg( Factuurnummer) & '<URL>\\xxx.x.xx.xxx\data\' & Column(3) & '.PDF'

Why is this not working in my accesspoint?

Regards,

Kris

=if(Score>=0,'URL'&'<URL>https://www.google.com/',Score)

PFA,

Thanks, but what if it is not a website but an ip-adress. (The pdf-documents are on an other server in the network.)

Regards,

Kris

Hi,

If I use

avg( Factuurnummer) & '<URL>\\XXX.X.XX.XXX\data\' &Column(3) & '.'PDF'

this link is working on my desktop version.

On firefox it opens an empty tab.

In Chrome itdoes nothing but if I hybernate the link, In the left corner I see "File://XXX.X.XX.XXX/data/1234.PDF"

And this documetn exists.

http://xxx.x.xx.xxx/data/2015/1234.PDF

is not working.

in Chrome he opens a link but says '404 NOT FOUND' If I put '\\' before the url he opens the pdf.

In firefox it is not working at all.

regards,

Kris

avg( Factuurnummer) & '<URL>file:\\XXX.X.XX.XXX\data\1234.PDF'

this is working in my desktop version

in chrome or firefox doing nothing.

avg( Factuurnummer) & '<URL>https://XXX.X.XX.XXX/data/1234.PDF'

desktop, Chrome and firefox opening a new tab but no document.

avg( Factuurnummer) & '<URL>http:\\XXX.X.XX.XXX\data\1234.PDF'

Hi,

If I put f

File:\\XXX.X.XX.XXX\data\1234.PDF in the browser.

Chrome opens the PDF in the browser.

Firefox is doing anything.

I create the link in the script

'<url>file:\\XXX.X.XX.XXX\data\1234' as URL

Your URL Should be like this.

Your url should preceed with https://

Hi,

I guess it is without the '?' in "file".

But with or without the '?' it is not working for me.

He can't find the server.

URIs for the file: protocol have a very peculiar layout.

Check whether this brings any solace: file URI scheme - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hirish,

If I type \\xxx.x.xx.xxx\data1234.PDF or file\\xxx.x.xx.xxx\data\1234.pdf in the url in the browser it is opening the pdf in Firefox and Chrome.

But If I try to use in the accesspoint it is not working

And if I type http://xxx.x.xx.xxx\data\1234.PDF or http://file\\xxx.x.xx.xxx\data\1234.PDF in the url in the browser nothing is working...

Regards
