Newbies DHart Posted September 20, 2006 Newbies Share Posted September 20, 2006 I would like to have users click on either an icon or a button to display a pdf or Word doc file in FM7 (Windows). I have the pdf filename in a field. I made a button of a field containing a URL and it successfully starts up my browser and goes to the proper website. I can manually insert the pdf file into a container field in a record. An icon is created and it starts adobe reader and displays the file. But I don't want to manually insert each pdf file. I tried to import all of the pdf files from a folder using import/folder, but I get an error message - "No files of the specified type were found in the specified folder." Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Mark Osborne Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 Sounds like a job for FileMaker 8.5. The new Web Viewer feature will allow you to display the PDF right inside a Web Viewer object simply by entering the URL to the PDF in a field.

Newbies DHart Posted September 20, 2006 Author Newbies Share Posted September 20, 2006 Thanks, John, but that is not an option at this point. Does anyone have any other suggestions? Thanks again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
