But I don't get it. I found this movie from DerHeck4.0 - wincc Unified comfort panel V16: Display .pdf files on panel with startProgram https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QtCeNpkEI5A I am using a SD card for reading the file on X51 and/or an USB on X61. Tried both. StartProgram Program name: opt/siemens/App_Restriction/runOkular.sh Program Parameters: /media/simatic/X61/MyPdf.pdf DisplayMode: 0 Waiting for program end: False When I push/click the button on the HMI, Just nothing happend. I can find and open the files by going to te operator interface - Apps - PDF viewer ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Split from PDF viewer in runtime.
