Open PDF File

Hi all,



How can i open a pdf file, from clicking in a buton?



Greetings.Open PDF File
The easiest way is with the BudAPI xtra
(www.mods.com.au/budapi), It

has a command called baOpenFile that will launch a file in
the

application that it is associated with. So, if you have
Acrobat reader

(or anything that is capable of reading pdfs), this command
wil open it



baOpenFile(the moviePath%26amp;''filename.pdf'',''normal'')



BuddyAPI is free to use up to 2 functions.

Open PDF File
Usually an xtra is involved, the buddyAPI xtra (free when you
use only a

couple of different functions) can open the pdf file using
acrobat, it

also has functions to verify that end user has acrobat
installed.



(sorry I don't have the lingo handy, but it's commonly
available)



the pdfXtra uses acrobat to render the pdf on the director
stage

application
