Tim,
Reading the PDF into a custom property is handy if you want to "carry"
it around in your stack, but you'll actually need it on disk to
display it. A couple of options:
1) (MacOS X) set the fileName of player 1 to "Users/Daddy/Desktop/HRV
feedback.pdf"
2) (MacOS X) : get shell("open 'Users/Daddy/Desktop/HRV feedback.pdf'")
If the file is in a custom property and you want to write it out, you
can use "put URL into ..." syntax and write it out to the user's temp
folder (see specialFolderPath()).
Hope that helps!
I think I got the script right:
put URL ("binfile:Users/Daddy/Desktop/HRV feedback.pdf") into xxxVar
set the savePDF1 of this card to xxxVar
answer the result
The result is empty, anyway. And there is a customKey of the card
called "savePDF1" I can't be sure until I know the right script to
display the PDF.
I can't figure out how to write a script to display the imported PDF.
I tried to do it with a player and struck out. I tried to set the
source to "the savePDF1 of this card." That seemed not to work.
A little (more) help? I'm on a Mac. This doesn't need to work on
other platforms.
It would be better if I could display the imported PDF with Preview
or Adobe Reader. I'm on a laptop with a smallish screen and I need
more control over size, zoom, etc. than a player seems to offer.
Retrospective and prospective thanks.
Tim Miller
