By pointing to it precisely. I suspect you do not have a correct URI that points to your file. The following creates a PDF that points to a file on a different server and creating a PDF opens just fine in a browser window (attached): <?xml version="1.0" encoding="US-ASCII"?><!--kenbla.fo--> <root xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format" font-family="Times" font-size="20pt"> <layout-master-set> <simple-page-master master-name="frame" page-height="297mm" page-width="210mm" margin-top="15mm" margin-bottom="15mm" margin-left="15mm" margin-right="15mm"> <region-body region-name="frame-body"/> </simple-page-master> </layout-master-set> <page-sequence master-reference="frame"> <flow flow-name="frame-body"> <block> Click <basic-link external-destination='url("http://docs.oasis-open.org/ubl/os-UBL-2.0/UBL-2.0.pdf")' text-decoration="underline">here</basic-link> </block> </flow> </page-sequence> </root> >I have tried a number of ways but the file doesn't open! Addressing a file in your local system will open the file in the PDF reader. Pointing to the file using http:// will open the file in the PDF reader in a browser window. >Any help is greatly appreciated. I hope the above helps. . . . . . . . . . Ken
