elbeardo77 Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stefanshotton Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elbeardo77 Posted August 24, 2006 Author Share Posted August 24, 2006 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). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
