Hi k2d2,

It looks like the underlying issue is that the file is being pulled from a file share which is blocked by most browsers as mentioned here:

You could probably get it to work in IE but it may not be the best approach as it would require making IE less secure for end users.

However, you could create a simple SmartObject using SmartBox and store the file there and then execute the load method of the SmartObject to populate the File Attachment control in your form.  I just tested this in my environment and it lets me download the document in Chrome and IE without issue.

Thanks,

Jimmy

i tried this method as shared above, our user can download file too

but they have to view this alert message, is there any better way to doanload pdf file from server?

Hi,

This you could save this file to a folder in a website (local of course), this will give you a URL to the file and the added advantage is that if the file type allows you can open the file in the web browser.

For instance, if I use the default website on my server the location of a file would be like http://servername/share/filename.csv. You can use this in a hyperlink on any form. To prevent the folder from growing too large you can use the File Service Broker you mentioned to delete files after they have been used.
