I am creating a job process entry form that will drive dynamic templates of various layouts.
So I have a drop down list that contains the various items. Once an item # is selected I would like either a hyperlink to the PDF showing the layout or better yet the PDF to just simply appear in a area on the form I set aside for it. Any idea gang?
Hi updating a hyperlink should be easy.
Make a custom property prop.hyperlink, set type to fixed list (1), set format as semicolon separated list enclosed in quotation marks and in the hyperlink cell refer to prop.hyperlink.
Updating a PDF inserted as object is however more difficult without programming.
You can use bitmaps instead.
1) make a bitmap containing all the bitmaps you want to show, insert it in the drawing, crop it to show only one image, then modify its ImgOffsetX cell to move the visible area.
or:
2) make a pile of all the bitmaps (or even PDFs) and switch their visibility according to your needs.
The bitmap process worked well. thanx a ton!!!
