In order for a user to view the PDF, you'll still need to install a PDF helper app, such as Acrobat, on the device. Otherwise, it's fairly straight forward; specify the pdf file location, if on the net, provide the URL. If local file, ensure the pdf is in BT_Docs and properly referenced. Cheers! -- Smug

I went to the plugins list and install that Pdf. The pdf is on the web and I used the URL line to that file. when I sent to my app it always say the same thing. "Something's not right" Error loading screen? The application had trouble understanding what to display. I get this message with all them plugins from buzztouch. and nothing is fairly straight forward.

Have you looked any of the training documents and videos on buzz touch? Those usually help someone new get a grip on how things work. Cheers! -- Smug
