Add non-qvw documents to QlikView Server?

[Michael_Reese]

I am trying to add a pdf file to the documents folder so I can add a hyperlink to it from the qvw.  Not sure what the path would be.  Every path I try doesn't work.

Any thoughts?

Hi,

I think this won't be possible, but you can add a custom folder to your C:\ProgramData\QlikTech\WebServer\config.xml (if you are using the buildin Webserver), e.g.

<Folders>
     ...
     <Folder>
        <Name>pdfs</Name>
        <Path>X:\MyPDFs\</Path>
      </Folder>
</Folders>

and restart your Webserver.

Now you can create a button with an open url action like /pdfs/abc.pdf

I was just adding it to the wrong folder.  You can put it anywhere under wwwroot.
