PDF in Web Viewer

[3Technology]

In my application i need to view some xyz.pdf from a lan folder, I have created a calculated field to take to Webviewer like this: file://Macintosh HD/Volumes/192.168.0.2/xyz.pdf ,it works fine with Acrobat Reader 5.0, if I use Acrobat 8.0, the web viewer shows only a acrobat icon. [color:red]...Why???

Try:

file://///192.168.0.2/xyz.pdf

The problem is not the path, if I use acrobat reder 5.5 I can view the xyz.pdf file, if I install acrobar reader 8.0 the WebViewer only shows a acrobat icon and not the document. I need something else to install??

I think that the previous poster was pointing out that you were missing a slash in your string. AFAIK, you need 3 backslashes, not 2, in a properly formed 'file:///' URL . It could just be that for whatever reason, your old browser accepted it anyhow.

Don't forget that the webviewer used is actually just based on IE if you're on a PC, and on Safari if you're on a Mac.

If I write in Safari file:///prova.pdf, I can see the document, if I write the same line in the webviewer, i see only the acrobat icon.
