Here's the short straight to the point version - I need to display a PDF file on a HMI. I'm using FTSE 6.1
I have AcroPDF.dll setup and registered. System is W2K8-64bit.
I made a test display, and I can embed the ActiveX control (Screenshot 1) - it's registered and that's working.
I can see the ActiveX object on my TestDisplay (it show's as a PDF icon). I need to point that to look at a file. The only properties I can see are to look for a src Tag. (Screenshot 2)
I have tried to make an HMI tag that's a string, and link the ActiveX element to point to that - which seems to be working.
I can't figure out the syntax for pointing to a local file. I've tried the following Tags as strings:
\\pcname\shared_folder\test.pdf
\\ip_address\shared_folder\test.pdf
C:\path\shared_folder\test.pdf
Documents\test.pdf (Where Documents is C:\Users\Public\Documents\RSView Enterprise\SE\HMI Projects\HMI_Project)
Any thoughts/ideas? How do I point a String tag to a local file path, and then link that to the ActiveX element? I'm trying to get this working and have tried a lot of different options, but I need some help.
Anything would be helpful.
Thank you!
