pdfActionLaunch

Launch action — ISO 32000-2 §12.6.4.5.

Module pdfActionLaunch | Source packages/front/office/pdf/src/action/launch.js | Deps pdfErrors, pdfParser | Worker-safe yes

/S /Launch action — requests launching an external application. /F (file spec) or the platform-specific /Win//Mac//Unix entries. Optional /NewWindow boolean. Major attack surface — this module never executes anything; it always returns sandboxed: true and a securityWarning string alongside the typed entries, so the host application decides what to do (typically: ignore, or prompt the user).

Resolve

const launch = runtime.resolve('pdfActionLaunch');
// Returns: { typeLaunch }
