How do I create a field and insert a pdf that can be opened by a user in browse mode? I've created a container field and inserted a pdf by clicking on the container field in browse mode to select it and then using the insert file from the Insert Menu. I then navigate to the folder on my hard drive that contain pdf's and select a pdf. I've tried this both with and without clicking the check box: "Store only a reference to the file". When I go to browse mode and double click on the container field with the pdf showing as an icon, nothing happens (the pdf does not open).

Any suggestions?

Thanks

After you Insert File, [x] as reference only, the file will open on your machine when you double-click the container field. It will not however work on a "user" client machine on a network. It would have to be inserted from (or calculated to) a file on a common OS-shared machine in that case. But on just your machine it should work
