Hi

 

I am trying to open a PDF file from a shared folder using action but since the URL for the shared folder start with "file" not "HTTP" like that " file://vm-tableau/Shared_files_for_Tableau/ "   it's working on the desktop version but when I publish it to the tableau server it gives me an error . I google it and found that the URL start with  "file " is not in the white list for tableau and even if I add it it will work only in internet explore but will not work in chrome or Firefox.

 

any other ideas I can try

 

Thanks

Mostafa

    Can you upload that PDF to somewhere on the internet? Perhaps just upload to dropbox or AWS S3 or something like that. From there, you can get an https URL, which will work in a URL action.
