JavaScript app.openDoc UNC-path?

[HARI]

Hi!

I'm trying to open a PDF-Document (which is stored on a MOSS
Sharepoint Server) by using its UNC-Path (e.g. \\mysite.mydom.com
\personal\user1\SharedDocuments\xy.pdf) with JavaScript using the
Method "app.openDoc".

But that does not work. I get an NotAllowedError (Security settings
prevent access to this property or method)

Maybe I just don't know the right way to write the path (I know that I
have to use "/c/xxx.pdf" if I want to open "c:/xxx.pdf" but I can't
find any information on how to writ UNC-Paths).

I also get this error when I try to open the original URL (http://
mysite.mydom.com/personal/user1/SharedDocuments/xy.pdf) - maybe
because of the authentication MOSS requires - but it works when I try
to open documents other http-servers.

I tell you what I want to do - maybe someone has a better idea to
accomplish that: We use a standard-workflow in MOSS that sends a
message including the URL to a PDF-File which then should be signed by
some user. That of course doesn't work, because IE handles the URL and
opens Acrobat, which gets only a downloaded Copy of the Document which
can not be saved back to the right place. I thougt of reading the URL,
calculating the UNC-Path to it and opening it properly to sign and
save back.

A way to a system call from within Acrobat JavaScript would also help.

Yours,

Harald

I am having the same problem. We have multiiple pdf's on sharepoint and are attempting links among the documents. That it, a button is created in pdf1 that runs a javascript that uses openDoc with a cPath: "\\sharepoint.whatever\Shared Documents\pdf2.pdf". It seems no matter how I write the path, i.e. UNC (\\) or http://, I always get the Not allowed error security....

I am able to use openDoc to open a pdf on the C drive
