Hi,

I would like to open a PDF file by clicking a picture.

How can I do that?

Thanks for your feedback

Depending on what you are trying to do it could be done using a text box and some simple html inside of a text box.<br />
<br />
<pre class='_prettyXprint _lang-auto _linenums:0'>
<a href="somelink.pdf"><img src="logo.jpg"></a>
</pre>

The picture already exist in the report.

All I need to do is add a hyperlink that points to some PDF file:

"file:///myfolder/" + row["MYCOLUMN"] + ".pdf"

But the file cannot be found!

If I replace row["MYCOLUMN"] by its value then it works fine.

file:///myfolder/myfile.pdf is OK.
"file:///myfolder/" + row["MYCOLUMN"] + ".pdf" is not OK

row["MYCOLUMN"] is used elsewhere in the report so I don't think it's the cause of my problem.

It seems like it comes from the double quotes at the beginning and at the end of the string:

file:///myfolder/myfile.pdf is OK
"file:///myfolder/myfile.pdf" is not OK

How can I remove these double quotes in:

"file:///myfolder/" + row["MYCOLUMN"] + ".pdf"

Thanks for your prompt feedback

If not possible, how can I open Adobe Reader in the report by clicking the picture?

I just found the cause of my problem.

When a hyperlink is added to an embedded picture, the type of the hyperlink in the XML source is set to "constant" by default.

That's why the string was not interpreted.

I replaced "constant" by "javascript" and now it works fine.
