Is it possible to have a button/script that would automatically open a pdf in a FM Web Viewer eliminating the need to double click on the pdf icon? We are currently using FMGO on iPads and just trying to eliminate an extra step. We tried the raw data method but we really need to keep the user on the current layout and the raw data method kept opening a new window.

RawData will work on a desktop because most browsers have plugins that allow them to display pdfs in the browser. iPads have their own pdf reader which is a separate app (the new window), and so it isn't possible to get the same behavior like on a desktop computer.

The problem isn't with matching the desktop version.

For example I have a container, 120 x 80, displaying the pdf file icon and name of a file. On the iPad you can touch and hold the pdf icon to open the file but it opens the file in the 120 x 80 window. My goal is to create a button that takes the user to a different layout with a larger container field and the pdf opens automatically without the user having to double tap or tap and hold on the file icon.

Creating the button to take the user to the other layout with the larger container is easy its having the pdf file open automatically without user interaction is the problem.

I know Raw Data can open the file on a button click but I need the file to stay within the layout window and not open another window.

thanks for your help!
