Hello
I would like to add a help file in my html page. This help would be in a pdf format.
User could run the report or open the pdf file with Abode Reader.
I suppose that I must make a hyperlink to a fex file which will open a pdf file ? or with Javascript ?
What is the coding or the commands to use for the file call?
Thank you,

Hello Marcel,

This is quite easy to do. If you are in the data servers area for your environment you can create an html file with a button or image and create an onclick event for the button pointing to your pdf file.

i.e.
 
//Begin function image1_onclick
function image1_onclick(ctrl) {
	window.open('/approot/test_folder/test.pdf');
}
//End function image1_onclick
