Hi Paddy,
Hi, I am developing an LO database and I want to open a PDF document from a button on a Base Form. I want a button on the form that will open a specific, different PDF document for each record. I want it to open the document in the default PDF reader? I have not been able to find anything to help me. I would appreciate a pointer to where I might be able to find instructions on how to do this.
This will work with a macro - here a part of it:
oShell = createUnoService("com.sun.star.system.SystemShellExecute")
oShell.execute(URL,,0)
It will open the program, which is linked to the type of file.
You could find it in the German Base Handbuch, but the translation into
English isn't finished since a long time ...
You could find a translated version from 1 1/2 years ago here:

Look for the chapter "Macros".
Regards
Robert
