Hi everybody - I have got a question about the PDF-Viewer Macro too - am I able 
to use an URI from a document,  shared from a windows file server?

If yes - is there any special syntax like 
fileserver//path//to//the/document.pdf  

Thanks,

Tobias

Indeed, the PDF Viewer Macro documentation doesn't give any usage example..
In general, wiki rendering macros are supposed to be used from the content
of a wiki page. So you have to edit a wiki page and insert the macro from
the CKEditor toolbar (see
http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/Extension/CKEditor+Integration/macroToolbarIcon.png
).

Hope this helps,
