Open PDF in Container Field?

in Remote Container Fields

Featured Replies

Is there a way to open a PDF from a container field other than to open url pointing to the path if the pdf is stored remotely and not encrypted?

You should not be able to use open url to open a RC container data field. If you can, it means that you are using OS-level sharing on the live FM folders and that is very dangerous.

RC data should be treated as regular container data, so the approach is to use "export field contents" followed by a local open url or a send event to open the file.

I was just realizing that it didn't work as I was testing it.

Using export field contents and open automatically works.

Thanks
