I hope I'm on the right form, if not sorry. smile.gif

I'm building an application which has two main tasks.

1. Controlling data about our clients (name, adress etc.),

2. Send letters (by template) to clients. (this template will either be in Filemaker or MS Word (not definitive yet).

Our clients all have their own logo's which are stored on .pdf somewhere on our harddisc (the path is always the same and the name of the file is the ID of the customer we use in Filemaker). One of the letters that will be send needs to have the .pdf file printed on it, or on a separate page with it. This needs to be done automatically, preferably with only one button.

I figured that I need to be able to show pdf's in Filemaker and searched the web. All I could find was how to get Filemaker data into a pdf which is actually the other way around. Is this possible? has someone done it before? How do I do this?

Thanks in advance.

Version: Developer v6

Platform: Windows XP
