Opening a pdf file from a Container field

[Jalz]

Hi Guys

Im trying to script the storage of a pdf document within a container field. Well I've managed to script this using the Insert File script which is great.

However, when I double click on the container field, id like the pdf file to open up and display, and I can't manage to do this. I've found an export field contents command, but that requires you to Export the file onto a desktop and and then open. Is there any other way to script the opening of an external file stored in a container field, without using the export field contents command ?

As always, many thanks for reading this post.

Watch out for the "Store only a reference to the file" checkbox.

IF it is only a reference then FMP will open the "external" file in a suitable app.

Alternatively use Insert Picture, but it gets messy when specifying the file.
