[Qgis-user] Action "open" to open a pdf-File

[Peter Schürch]

QGIS 2.8.1-Wien / Windows 8 / MSSQL-Spatial
Hi List
I want to open a PDF-File from the QGIS-Object-Attribute Window (which pops up when I click with the "info-Tool" on a e.g. point-geometry).

What I have done so far:

-          I have a geometry-table in the MSSQL spatial database with point  geometries which works fine (displays in map, is editable etc..)

-          I have an attribute which contains an absolute path to a PDF-file on our server (The path is correct and works in Explorer).

-          I have defined an action of type "Open", given it a name, added the action [% "PDF File"%] referring to the attribute with the file path and added it to the action list.

When I open the Object Attribute Window and right click somewhere I can select my action BUT nothing happens, not even an error message... I'm clueless.

Using the Action Tool from the toolbar - same result, nothing happens, no error message.

Any ideas?

Thanks, best regards
Peter Schürch
