Support Request: autorun a PDF file

Description

We want to use the tablet in a kiosk mode running an interactive PDF file. When I set Adobe Acrobat Reader as the only app to run/load, it doesn't come up, just hangs at a white screen. It won't open the file anyway, just open the program (when I saw it work previously) so the option isn't ideal.

In short, what is the best way to have SiteKiosk automatically open a PDF file? It is the only source(file) the public will have access to.

2.4 build 118 Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 SM-T530NU ver 5.0.2

Unfortunately there isn't a known way to automatically start a specific PDF file saved locally on SiteKiosk Android... However if the PDF APP you are using allows for automatically loading the file then that would be the workaround.

Please note that this limitation would not apply to the SiteKiosk Windows version... So if your organization has not yet committed to a hardware choice for the deployment...I would recommend using a Windows Tablet and installing SiteKiosk Windows to see if this better suites your needs.
