January 17, 200718 yr I need to import a PDF into a Filemaker Database and have the users view the PDF at a later time. The problem is when the PDF's are more than 1 page, they import fine and when exported have multiple pages again but in the database I can't make it so that they can be viewed all at once. If anyone knows of a plugin that I have missed or an easier way of doing it I would appreciate the help.
March 15, 200718 yr The only solution I have come to was to import the multi-page pdf as a Quicktime file. The file must be stored in a fixed referenced folder, as Filemaker stores only a reference to the document into the container field. I have found some 3rd party solutions but they do basically the same thing, but with a nice interface.
