August 12, 201114 yr I've created a bucket on my main database layout to hold documents, in this bucket I put .pdf files between 1 and 10 pages long. Without then re-exporting the pdf's to my desktop and viewing them there, how can i display/view then within filemaker? Thanks, Matt
August 12, 201114 yr I would run a script and export it to the Get ( TemporaryPath ) and then point a web viewer at that path, it would then load the PDF directly. The pdf's would be deleted on quitting FileMaker. Alternatively using SuperContainer would allow for viewing PDF's as the files are not stored in the database but stored externally via a URL.
September 10, 201114 yr Actually, even simpler. I don't know about a Mac, but this works on a PC: Set Variable[$filename; Get ( TemporaryPath ) & GetAsText(containerfield)] Export Field Contents[containerfield;"$filename"; Automatically Open]
