opening an attachment via a link in the text

Hello,

When I attach a file (pdf/word/png) It works fine and via the attachment pane I can open all these files by clicking on it.

However when cliking in the text on the "link" it only works for pdf files. All other files do not open by clicking the link. No error message is given nothing happens

I searched the web , the book without finding a solution
Can somebody help

my code (a method I wrote)

public static Paragraph add_attachement_to_paragraph_gotoaction(String filename,String dirpath,String description ,PdfWriter fdfwr) throws IOException {

PdfTargetDictionary target;
PdfDestination dest;
Chunk chunk;
PdfAction action = null;
PdfFileSpecification fs;
Paragraph p;
dest =new PdfDestination(PdfDestination.FIT);
dest.addFirst(new PdfNumber(0));
fs = PdfFileSpecification.fileEmbedded(fdfwr,dirpath + "\\" + filename, filename, null);
fs.addDescription(description,false);
fdfwr.addFileAttachment(fs);
target = new PdfTargetDictionary(true);
target.setEmbeddedFileName(description);
action = PdfAction.gotoEmbedded(null, target, dest, true);
chunk = new Chunk(" " +filename);
chunk.setAction(action);
p = new Paragraph("",verysmallblue);
p.setSpacingAfter(5f);
p.add(chunk);
p.add(".");
return p;

}

In reply to this post by bou

Correct, the GoToE action (which is what you are using) only works with
PDF files.

You will need to use a Launch action for the other formats.
