Show PDF in NAV form

MarcusM2

Hi all,

Is there a way to show PDF document directly in NAV (v. 5), or to dynamically control PDF reader from NAV code ?
My problem is the following : my list form is based on a table containing .pdf documents file name, and I would like to have a control in my form showing the pdf document selected, and update this preview as I select another record (or update the document shown on pdf reader if it's not possible directly in NAV).

Thanks for your help

Hi Marcus,

A way is to use shell command. So you can launch your PDF easily, with something like :

MyCommandText =  "AcroRd32.exe " + MyPdfFileName;
SHELL (MyCommandText);

Thanks for your answer DKone. I put an Hyperlink command on a button and it woeks well, but i would like to have something more dynamic, I mean like a picture box in an item card : picture showed in NAV changes as user get to another item card. The aim is to have scanned image (pdf) of purchase invoices embeded into NAV
