Store PDF from E-mail into Container from iPad

in FileMaker Go for iPhone & iPad

I receive PDF files via email, and need a way to add these directly into a container field, from the iPad.

When I use iTunes and load the PDF into the Apps > FMGo section, it works fine, and using Insert PDF shows the file.

I've tried using Adobe Reader and iBooks to save the PDF files from the email and then insert if into the container. The files show up under the Adobe Reader folder in iTunes, but not in FMGo, so using Insert PDF doesn't show any files.

Thanks in advance.

If you are using FileMaker Go 13v3 or greater you can save the PDF in the email to the FileMaker go documents folder. No need for acrobat or ibooks.

Ah, so after all it turns out I simply forgot to scroll right when using the Open In function...

Thanks for making me check this again and again.
