Hello Wim,

Is there a trick to display the same PDF when running the 5250 emulator on android?

Depending on the emulator being used, they often highlight http(s)-URLs to be tapped upon. If you can expose the PDF "pool" via http, that would be one way to do it.

A second way would be to code an intermediate CGI which does additional checks if the user in question is actually allowed to get the PDF before embedding the data stream into the CGI output.

:wq! PoC
