Need to open PDFs from FMP

[Jeff Abraham]

I need to click on a button inside of FMP 5 that opens a PDF file. How can I do this? The open file script only opens FMP documents.

Thanks!

Use Applescript if you are on a Mac, other use Send Message. Both will allow you to open external files of any type.

Using Applescript or WinBatch will allow you to open files based on a field value, with a bit of programming anyway.

Thanks for the tip. Problem is I do not know Applescript. Is this a simple script to create or an example of one on the web? Can the Applescript open a PDF file based on a FMP field number like an auto-entered serial number? Thanks!
