Newbies Snorkell Posted March 3, 2022 Newbies Share Posted March 3, 2022 I have numerous pdfs on my computer. I plan on developing a database to allow me to search for pdfs on specific topics. Is it possible to develop a script to add to a record to actually open the pdf referred to in the record? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It depends on how exactly do you plan to refer to the PDF. For example, if you have stored a path to the file in a text field, and the path is a URL path (or can be converted to a URL path), then you can use the Open URL [] script step to open the file in the default application.
