FM12: Unable to open PDF by double-clicking container as FM11

I have a FM11 file converted to FM12 and I realized that, unlike FM11, double-clicking the container fields does not launch acrobat reader and open PDF attached in the container.

Did I missing something?

You were probably using OLE to insert the PDF in FileMaker 11.

For some reason, they deprecated that function in FM12.

AFAIK your only option now is to use the native FM function (view container 'optimize for interactive content' checked) or to export it.
