HI Olaf,
thanks for clarifying.
I love the feature - I have included the French Alps outlanding catalogue into
pdf, thanks to the efforts of some friends. It makes it easy to access the
crucial approach information for an outlanding field.
For pdf the reader (e.g. Acrobat) always opens, as an external application and
therefore needs the file= command as Olaf had described.
Cheers
Sascha

Images can be embedded with the image= keyword, which should work on all
platforms. The best bet is to use .jpg, if the images should be supported on
all platforms. Some OS's might support only .bmp others also support .png and
maybe more.
With the file= keyword XCSoar will try to launch an external application to
display the contents of the file. This is currently only supported on Android.
