Open PDF file from AccessPoint

[#1]

Hi -

I have created a pdf file that I would like to open from AccessPoint. I tried creating a button that would 'Open URL' where URL is pointing to the exact location of the file on the server but it did not work. The way I created a button was:

- Under actions, selected Launch

- Application - I selected the location of PDF reader .exe file

- Filename - full path and name of the pdf file on the server

The above approach only worked on my desktop version but not on the server even after changing the path of the files to use server path. I was not able to find any solution in QlikView community. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Please check that the pdf creator is installed in the server too

good luck!

I don't see any examples. Do you have any examples?

Yes I installed pdf creator/reader on the server but still got error.

Download the attached rar file for example.

The error I get is 'Can't open (PDF path). Access is denied.

The path for PDF reader I used was the path on the server.

Thanks

There  is no any need for PDF Creator

hi,

Instead of launch action, Use Open URL.

In open url, use path from the directory where application is placed.

For example:  "../user_mannual.pdf"
