We have a PLC/HMI product that will run a shareware pdf reader called FoxIt. Does anyone know if there is a way to use a button in Visu that will open this reader, maybe to a specified document?

My apologies, I got away from this project for a while.
I am using the TargetVisu on the PLC.
I almost have it working - I can activate the PDF viewer. My only issue is that I can only specify a document to open that is in the same folder as the pdf viewer.
Is there a way, with the 2nd parameter when you activate a file, to specify a file path to the document to be opened?? I have attached a picture below.
Thank you!

galexis how is the browser supposed to download the file and view it, if it is not available for the client to get it?
E.g. you have a pdf called "manual.pdf".
Put the pdf file into your $PlcLogic$/$visu$ folder.
You should then be able to download the file using http://localhost:8080/manual.pdf (or include it into your website as I-Campbell described two posts ago).
Best regards,
Marcel

Is it possible to link to a file that is stored on SD card ?
Update:
I have found out: The URL should be 'http://ip_of_plc/$$sdcard$$/your_PDF.pdf'
$$ because first $ works as escape character
