Opening a PDF in access point

[FrankC]

We would like to have a link on the qvw that when pressed will open a help document (pdf) in a new window.  This would fine using the desktop application, but nothing happens with the same report in the access point.

Any tricks to get this to work?

Hello @FrankC 

Please find the below steps:

• Instead of launch action, Use Open URL.
• In open url, use path from the directory where application is placed.
• For example:  "../user_mannual.pdf"

Please find the below reference articles:
