Previewing PDF files

[BrentHedden]

This goes a bit beyond FileMaker's capabilities, but I thought that I would throw this out anyways to see if anyone else has come across this.

Is there any way to be able to just preview a PDF file? Opening a file with Acrobat or even using web browser brings up the Acrobat toolbar, which allows the user to email & save, among other things.

What I want is the ability to open a PDF file, preview it, close it, and nothing more. This is mainly for security reasons. Preferably with a web browser, so we don't have to use external software.

This is on a Windows platform.

Try using the Filemaker web viewer.

I thought of that idea too. Unfortunately, the FM web viewer uses the same Adobe plugin as a regular web viewer, so that pesky bar still shows up.

[bruceR]

No it doesn't. That is removeable.

[BrentHedden]

Oh yea? I must be totally missing how to do that. Please, enlighten me on how to remove that bar.

If there a way of 'automating' this so I won't have to change each user's individual computer(s)?
