PDF hyperlink want button not text ...

[brooksr]

I'm new to FP2003.

I have a PDF file and can link to it with hypertext by drag and drop.

I want to have a button that bring up the PDF file.

I tried Insert, Form, Push Button. Then, set the Hyperlink Property of
the button to the PDF file, then when clicked in Preview, nothing
happens ...

Thanks,

Brooks

Consider using a image (button), not a form field button.

Here's the code:

This works:

<p><a href="test.pdf">test. PDF</a></p>

This seems to do nothing:

<form method="POST" action="--WEBBOT-SELF--">
<!--webbot bot="SaveResults" U-File="_private/form_results.txt"
S-Format="TEXT/CSV" S-Label-Fields="TRUE" -->
<p><a href="test.pdf"><input type="button" value="Button"
name="B3"></a></p>
</form>

You can not use the FP form handler to process hyperlinks. You would have use JavaScript, it is
easier to just use a image as the link
