Possible to open Word doc or PDF?

[TTN]

Is it possible to open a word or pdf document outside of Filemaker? I have a series of docs but am working on a Mac, so can't embed them in Filemaker. Anyway I can provide a link to them instead?

The Open URL script step supports most protocols (AFP, HTTP etc) which can be used to locate the target file. HTTP will download the file and possibly open it if the the browser is configured correctly (you need a web server). AFP will locate the target file (You need file sharing switched on, or a server supporting AFP).

Alternatively look at the Perform AppleScipt script step - this will locate and open with the right instructions.
