App crash when opening local document.
Hello fellow Hololens users/developers,
I have encountered a problem and I hoped one of you might be able to help me ...
Context:
I'm working on an app from which we would like to read PDFs.
I have a pdf file which is saved localy.
Problem:
When calling:Application.OpenURL(Application.persistentDataPath + "/test.pdf");
The app just crash. So I checked if the file existed usingSystem.IO.File.Exists(Application.persistentDataPath + "/test.pdf")
And it does exist!
What is strange:
There is no problem when I run it in the UnityEngine/Windows/Android/iOS so I assume there is something special with Hololens I fail to catch.
Thanks in advance for your time and concern. I'm starting to go all out of idea about it ...

I have the same problem and I just could not resolve it. I can load PDF from an url, I am not sure it is possible to read a PDF from a local path on the Hololens. But you can load it from OneDrive for instance, if it can help you.
I aint really familiar with OneDrive but I would like not to use Microsoft's cloud service (or any other cloud service), so sadly that does not solve my problem
I don't know what you want to do, if you want to load a specific PDF or multiple PDF. I can read a PDF I pass in my script as a public variable, or via an URL (not OneDrive specific). I would like to load local files but I spent hours without success, so sorry I can't help you more...
I believe you need to be using the UWP versions of your API calls to open the file(s). https://msdn.microsoft.com/windows/uwp/app-settings/store-and-retrieve-app-data
