Jason Goldsmith Posted October 29, 2005 Posted October 29, 2005 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
Fenton Posted October 29, 2005 Posted October 29, 2005 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
