Newbies SOSGirl Posted December 13, 2008 Newbies Share Posted December 13, 2008 Hi, I have a container field that contains a PDF. As it is right now, I have to export this in order to open the file. I want to script a button over the PDF image of the doc that will auto open the document when I click on it. I know I have to export and then open so I created a script but I'm confused about the temp file name. I just want it to go to the Windows temp file. I set up a script with Export (field name) and for the specify output file I put "filewin://%25temp%". (I didn't type 25 there but it added it automatically). I checked Auto open. It's not working. Any ideas? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcooney Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 (edited) Yes, use the Get (temporarypath) function to build the path. I usually build the path in a $variable, and then just put the $variable in the Export Path. So, Set Variable $path, Get (TemporaryPath)& "temp.pdf" Export $path Edited December 13, 2008 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newbies SOSGirl Posted December 17, 2008 Author Newbies Share Posted December 17, 2008 Thanks for your response. I'm not following though. Where do I use the Get function? How do I do the Set Variable (I assume you mean the script step?) I need more hand holding please :B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
