Hello,
There is a way to do that in a macro where the pdf will be downloaded then opened with adobe.
But I did not test on server, just on qv desktop.
Here's the sample macro in vbscript where you'll change the paths accordingly, hope it'll be helpful:
sub openPDFfromURL
pdfurl = "weburl/yourpdffile.pdf"
savepath = "C:\Users\Test\Desktop\QVW\File.pdf"
adobepath = "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 10.0\Acrobat\Acrobat.exe"
set objHTTP = CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP")
set objPDF = CreateObject("Adodb.Stream")
objHTTP.Open "GET", pdfurl, False
objHTTP.Send
objPDF.Type = 1 'binary
objPDF.Open
objPDF.Write objHTTP.responseBody
objPDF.SaveToFile savepath, 2 'overwrite
objPDF.Close
'below can be set from launch trigger
set app = ActiveDocument.GetApplication
app.Launch adobepath, savepath
end sub
Make sure to change the security flag to "Allow system access".
