Hi,

I would like to use the PDFViewer to show some PDFs

The PDFs are on my laptop located  
F:\Eigene Dateien\servoy\_workspace\NG\_BIB\medias\historie.pdf

The example says: elements.pdfViewer.documentURL = ‘[http://www.cbu.edu.zm/downloads/pdf-sample.pdf](http://www.cbu.edu.zm/downloads/pdf-sample.pdf)’;

But I can not manage that my local stored PDF is dispalyed, I am sure it’s quite simple but …

Thanks  
Ralf
