B4J Question Open external PDF document

[red30]

There is adc.pdf file in the Files folder of my project. I want this file to open when the button is clicked.

Sub btnInfo_Click   
    fx.ShowExternalDocument(File.GetUri(File.DirAssets, "adc.pdf"))
End Sub

When you press the button, nothing happens. Why? How can I open an external pdf file?

Copy the file to DirData first and open it from there.

If I place the pdf file in the Objects folder, then I can open it with:

Sub btnInfo_Click  
    fx.ShowExternalDocument(File.GetUri(File.DirApp, "adc.pdf"))
End Sub

If I pack such a project into an "exe" using B4JPackager, then after installing the "exe" the pdf file no longer opens. Why does this happen?

Copy the file to DirData first and open it from there.

I don't understand how DirData works ... Can I have an example?

I don't understand how this helps me? Where can I put the pdf file so that it becomes part of the application? So that after installing the exe, when you click this button, the file will open.

Maybe I misinterpreted something. I have a pdf file. I am creating an exe file with B4JPackager. I want this exe to contain a pdf file. So that when installing the application, I always have access to this file. I don't understand how to do this ...

Put it in the Files folder and copy it to File.DirData at runtime.
