Open PDF doc in Qlikview

pauldamen — Thu, 04 Jul 2013 10:51:29 GMT

All,

I have a list of 120 projects in Qlikview. When 1 project is selected I need to open a PDF document with project details. All the PDF's are stored in one folder with the Filename: [Project ID].pdf. The Project ID corresponds with the ID in Qlikview.

How can I dynamically open the PDF doc when 1 project is selected through a button? Inline loads are not a option since the projects change so specifiying all docs in the script is to much work. I tried to add the Lauch command to a button but can't seem to get it to work.

Hope you guys can help!

Regards,

Paul

This is possible..

Using action -->Launch, we can do it..

Here I am sharing "Find my files". This is almost same logic

Dear Karthik,

Thanks for you help but this is a bit complicated for me. I see the first page off the script were it generates file names. Lets say I just have 1 fixed file location how can I then load all the files in that path in Qlikview?

I attached my file. Hope you can help.

Regards,

Paul

Hi Paul,

I can't undertand your file..

So I have created separate example.. Here I have done for "txt" files. You can change it "Pdf" files..

Attached one folder also. You have to paste that in "D:\" drive after unzipped..

Very useful!

We are developing a dashboard and intend to see folders and subfolders files in the same grid, but did not have a good logic till now.

Congrats
