Title
non interactive containers
Post
Hey Guys,
Is there a way in filemaker pro 12 (v4) to make a container wich is not interactive?
I have a table with clients, and for each client there is a container field where the contract with this specific client can be stored. What i would like is that this field just holds the pdf file and when i want to view this file just double click the container field. Is there a way to do this? because what i have now is a field wich is to small to really view the pfd in detail, and double clicking the field does nothing.
im working an a Mac os X machine with adobe installed.
thanx in advance
With the help of Google (And fmforums.com) i found the solution for my problem
I will post it here so it may be helpfull to others
To make a container field wich opens a embedded pdf file with one click on the file:
Make the container non interactive (layout modus; Optimize for images)
Make a script: (I dont know if I have all the script functions correct because i translated them from Dutch)
Set Variable [$Temp; Value:Get (TemporaryPath)&"Temp.pdf"]
Export [ your container field; "$Temp"; Open Automatically]
Make the field a button which executes the script
