app.openDoc(path does not work)

[RedSimon]

I am having a problem trying to write the function:

var ProgDoc = app.openDoc("docName",this);

If I create a PDF document and save it on a file system (ie Hard Drive or CD ROM) then this function will work:


var ProgDoc = app.openDoc("/n/North/repository/October/zzzzzz_October03.pdf",this);

and relative path from this location will also work:

var ProgDoc = app.openDoc("../October/zzzzzz_October03.pdf",this);

My problem is that when I put the created PDF document on the company Intranet, none of the links work from the PDF document when opened within Internet Explorer.

I have even tried:

var ProgDoc = app.openDoc("file://\\ser01xxx1uk\data\North\repository\October/zzzzzz_October03.pdf",this);

But within Internet Explorer the PDF JavaScript produces the following error message:

>>uncaught exception:Link :Mouse Up:1: Invalid argument value for App.openDoc. ===> Parameter cPath. <<

So far my only solution has been to create an HTML menu page that will open each PDF document on request from within Internet Explorer. This works, but I want to be able to navigate from one PDF document to another PDF from within the PDF documents rather than through an intermediary HTML file. Such navigation works PDF --> PDF when the PDF files are read from disk (or CD) but not when read in IE.

Have you tried

"/ser01xxx1uk/data/North/repository/October/zzzzzz_October03.pdf"

Ahhhhh, I see you have a machine that goes Bing!
