PDF View

ROBO

Is there a possibility that you can view a PDF document in a picturebox or something like that? And if so how can you do it?

ThanX

No. You can create some automation for that, but not easy way... You can for example use components which allow to add Internet Explorer window into Navision, than you can open the pdf there... but I think the component is not for free... http://www.mibuso.com/dlinfo.asp?FileID=521

Is there any progress on this issue?
Can a pdf document be viewed in NAV?

not sure why you would want to. By adding links from nav to pdf files you can just click on a link and it's no big deal that adobe acrobat opens it or is it for you?

It would be nice to scroll through documents (with a pdf attached) in a NAV form, io. opening a pdf reader each time.
Compare to scrolling trough Item Cards with a picture of the item on the Card form.

the easiest way is use hyperlink or WShShell to open a document.
The solution with embedded pdf viewer in navision is disproportionate.
if you needed, check the adobe dlls (Automations)

or linked attachments if you have the newer version.

Else you can use 1 table & 1 form and create your own
Linked documents.
5 field table - Mine is set to hold links for Item/Customer/Vendor/Deposit
but you can change them to fit your needs.
Add a simple command button to the item/cust/vend/deposit card.
Change RunObject to Form Linked Attachments
Change RunFormLink to Type=CONST(Customer),No.=FIELD(No.) *for customer obviously & change customer to item on item card. etc. etc.
