hi

 

We are running in app on the powerserver

I want to open a PDF file from our network on our tablet. Is that possible. It does not have to be running in the app, just open the PDF with acrobat for instance

I tryed:

ls_filename="\\172.16.10.x:80\x\" + ls_proefcode + ".pdf"

//Open de PDF via Shell
ShellExecute( 0 , "open", ls_filename, ls_Null, ls_Null, 1)

 

But on a tablet it does not work, on ios it works great

 

Someone any suggestion

Hi

Txs for your reply



Again on a windows PC it works perfect but if I deploy to powerserver, it will not work

THis is the code I use now



ls_proefcode = dw_proefplannen.getitemstring(row,"proefcode")

ls_filename = "\\172.16.10.2\Sybase\Communicatiefiles\Liveproefplan_PDF\" + ls_proefcode + ".pdf"



inet iinet_base

iinet_base = Create inet



GetContextService("Internet", iinet_base)

iinet_base.HyperlinkToURL(ls_filename)



Can you confirm that this should be working. That would be great. Txs

Hi Ignmar;

Your code example should *not* be using the GetContextService() command. That command was only needed when running under EAServer.

Hi.

Try using file://... instead of \\<some ip>. Try a uri generated like:

ls_filename = "file://172.16.10.2/Sybase/Communicatiefiles/Liveproefplan_PDF/"; + ls_proefcode + ".pdf"

Does it works?

Andreas.

hi, we getting there but not yet. It seems that it can acces the file on de server now, but will nog open it.

I get the message : PDF not showned: can not open file xxx.pdf

There is  google drive icon for it. We tryed acrobat, or other PDF readers to install on the tablet but that will nog work

 

I tested the file by putting it on the tablet and that will open.....
