One click to view a PDF in a container field? - FMGO12

When I click on a PDF in a container field a popup appears with four Actions (view, replace, export and delete).

How can I take the user directly to the view option and prevent them from seeing the other options?

I found the solution. Use script step "Export Field Contents" and check the "Open Automatically" checkbox. Send it to the temporary directory that FMGO can access that on the iOS device.


Set Variable: $Temp

Value: Get(TemporaryPath) & "temp.pdf"

Export [your container field] to path: $Temp

Check the option: Automatically Open
