Hi All,
I have an requirement where i have to open the pdf file on a button click in Qv access point.I tried using the launch option available in Qlikview.I have given the application location where it exists,as well the file name.But i got the message
Failed to Launch C:\Program Files(x86)\Adobe\Reader 10.0\AcroRd32.exe.
Please let me know how can i open the pdf file in access point .

Have you tried using a textbox with the action "Open URL" ?
As your URL you can just put the location of your pdf (such as "c:\QlikView Reference Manual.pdf or a web address)
Hope this is what your looking for,

See if this is what you are looking for. This will open a PDF called QV11_ThirdPartySoftware.pdf located in the C:\Program Files\QlikView
Hi Britt,
The way you suggested works in QlikView Desktop edition.But in my current scenario this has to open through the qlikview access point.

Hi Shiva
I have got it to work of a button in Accesspoint and use the adobe client installed on the user client
1. Select action = Launch
2. in the application box I entered a variable that contains the full UNC path of the target document.
Note: if I wanted to use an adobe client instaled on the server i would just enter the location of the executable.
3. in the filename box I entered a variable that contains the full UNC path of the target document.
4. In the parameters box i entered soem acrobat paramneters e.g. "Tootbar=0" to suppress the acrobat toolbar.
Please remember that the button will not become active until you have reduced the number of documents being selected to1.
Cheers
Frank
