Hi All,

I m using Qt 4.2.2 on my Intel Mac.

I have a PDF file in the Resource File and I have a Button on ToolBar say Open.
What I want is that when I click the Open button the PDF file Should be open in its default application Preview in case of Mac.

If anybody knows then plz help me.

Thanks.

I don't think you can open a file from a resource using the default system handler. You'd have to extract the file to a real file first and then use QDesktopServices::openUrl.
