Open PDF file

[elbeardo77]

Is there a script I can attach to a button that lets me open a pdf file inserted into a FM file into Acrobat?

The only one I found so far is just a script which exports the file out of Filemaker.

Easiest way is to run a script that

Exports filed content(container) to a pre-specified file name ie temp.pdf.

pause for 2 seconds so the export takes place.

then

open url of the predefined file

Thanks!

Still have to work out how to do that on a mac.

I can export the file and save it to the desktop, but when I use the file:// command it doesn't recognise the file location.

I know how to do it on a pc, but the mac works slightly different (no drive names).
