Title
Open PDF linked to value in portal row.
Post
Hello FM experts.
I would like to create a portal with a text field based on a value list (say: product A, product B, ...), with different set of values for each record. In this portal row, I want to include a button that opens a specific PDF file: button in row containing product A opens PDF file about product A, and so on.
Is this possible?
Thanks in advance

Sounds like the portal row is related to a products table. If you're using version 12, why not put the PDF in a container field in the products table?
Setup a layout with the container on it (large).
Then in the portal, the button would "Go to related records, products, using layout: container view.
If you're not using a container, or if you're not using FileMaker 12, I don't think you'll be able to get a PDF on the screen by clicking a button unless you use applescript (or windows equivalent?)
