Open PDF in Browser - Microsoft Dynamics AX

This document summarizes a discussion on the Microsoft Dynamics AX Forum about opening PDF files in a browser from X++ code. One user asked if there is a way to open a PDF file in a browser from X++. Another user suggested checking a specific blog post for how to do this in AX 2012. However, the original user responded that they do not want to change the default program for all PDFs, only some, and most should still open in Adobe. A third user then suggested using .NET logic to override the default application and open the PDF with a specific application instead of the default, on a case by case basis.

Problem is that we don't want to change the default program for all PDF files,
only for some of them. Most of the PDF files should just open in adobe.

Hi

Can't you do it with some .net logic where you override the default app

Process myProcess = new Process();    

myProcess.StartInfo.FileName = "acroRd32.exe"; //not the full application path

myProcess.StartInfo.Arguments = "/A \"page=2=OpenActions\"


C:\\example.pdf";

myProcess.Start();
