Opening pdf and excel files

Hello.

Please help me.

How can I attach pdf and excel files to my publication. I want to open these pdf and excel files by clicking on a push button.

Hi you can use the "Run" command. You need to set the file path and Windows opens the file with default application.

Of course, office and pdf reader app necessary on the PC to do this.

Dear Jncon

Thanks a lot for your help.

There's also the NeoBookPDF plugin if you want more control over how your user views PDFs.

As for Excel files, yeah, your best bet is to use "Run".

Keep in mind, both of these still need Excel and Acrobat installed. While you do have some control over PDFs, NeoBookPDF uses Acrobat as it's "engine".
