Viewing PDF on Filemaker Go that's in External Storage

Featured Replies

  • Newbies

Hi

 

Can anyone help, I've stored Scanned PDF's of purchase invoices on our FM database which is running on FM server 13. 

 

Stored externally and secure storage option on the container field.

 

We can view the files fine on FM pro but when we try and view on FM Go goes to a web view and errors and does not show the PDF.

 

How do you view stored pdf's in filemaker go?

Currently running the below script which works for Filemaker Pro Clients just not on Filemaker Go on iOS

 

Set Variable [$AttachmentPath; Case (Abs (Get(SystemPlatform)) = 1, "filemac:", "filewin:") & Get (TemporaryPath) & TableName::SerialNumber & ".pdf"]

Export Field Contents [TableName::ContainerFieldName; "$AttachmentPath"; Automatically open]

 

 

 

Any ideas

 

Thanks

 

Clive
