How do I fix this so when I click on the app icon it will show me the pdf ?

Hi @quamie911 

What you describe here is a common issue 🙂

Attachments/apples.pdf is the relative path, from your default app folder, to your file.

I assume that if you look into your Drive, you won't find it here, but rather in Files/apples.pdf

You may want to set the file value as this instead.

I explained a way to deal with it few month ago, if that may help, that consists into writing down the relative path first, then use this in order to send it. But you can also send it directly without saving it, it's as you want.

Here are my explanations:

sorry it took so long for my reply .

I’ve tried fallowed your simple step, by step . I can get the pdf in my drive folder and open it no problem. But when I try to open it in the app it says the same thing. Here are some screen shots

Hi! I got a solution for my problem, because I had a button which did an action which put other name ("ident-[id].PDF"). But I deleted this button and my app is running now. Maybe you have the same error: 

I had seen your Link and I don't know what's wrong because before my solution I got the same error than you and I saw a lot of AppSheet Q&As about this saying the same solution: "You don't put the PDF File in the right folder" and I cheked my PDF and my folder and all is right.

The other things that I changed:

- Default app Folder

- App Formula in PDF field and Image/File folder path

I hope you find a solution!

This is the correct way to specify the folder path

CONCATENTE("/","Residuos_Files_")

CONCATENTE("/","Residuos_Files_","/","Resid-",[id])

Right now it works, but thanks for the information, to put it correctly!
