Hi there, The easiest way I have found to display an external pdf is to include it in an iframe
<iframe src="pathtoyourpdf.pdf"></iframe> You can also have it open in a separate window if you prefer, upon clicking a link <a href="pathtoyourpdf.pdf" target="blank">Your Link Text</a> The program that your machine actually uses to open the file is an operating system setting. Bear in mind that if the location of the file changes, you may need to update the references to it and so, depending on the nature of the documents, it may be better to upload it (eg; to dropbox) and then link to that copy, which will work from anywhere. Does this help? Regards, Richard On Tuesday, July 29, 2014 10:16:12 AM UTC+10, [email protected] wrote: > > How do I open files (stored on my HD or elsewhere) from TW? How do I open > a pdf file?
