Open a file Button

Hello,
I created a pdf with buttons that are meant to open other pdf files stored in other folders within my computer. They work great as long as I don't remove the pdf with the buttons outside of its folder. If I email someone the pdf with the button and the files that are supposed to be recalled with the buttons, the buttons don't work. I find it strange that the files work well, as long as they are not moved from the folders in which they were created. It worked once after emailing the files to another computer, but have not been able to replicate it.

File links in PDF files are relative by default. As long as the source and
target document are in the same relative position to one another, they
should work. If you move one of them without moving the other, they break.
It's possible to use absolute links, but it's more complicated. If you
want to be 100% sure that the links work then you should attach the files
you're linking to to the original PDF and then link to them as attachments.

Cant open project using "Open Existing File"

Using GB 11, if I try to open an existing .band project with the Open Existing File button, or from the File/Open menu option from within GB, the "Open" button is grayed out, as are all of the other buttons on the screen. On the other hand, if I select the project from GBs recent projects section, or if from Finder, I select Open with GarageBand from the File menu, I can open the project. I've checked that I have permissions on the Garageband folder and the files within. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks.

Interactive Buttons - Open File - How do I open a file in a "new" window?

Running CS5 and I'm working on an interactive document. I have created a Button and my Action is to "Open File" and I've selected the applicable file. When I export to PDF and click on that button, it opens the file but not in a new window so I lose my original source PDF.
I know that I can do these actions in Acrobat but I'd prefer to do all my actions in InDesign so I don't have to keep going back and forth.
Thanks!!

I believe it has to be done with a JavaScript in Acrobat. It cannot be done in InDesign. You might ask in the Acrobat forum for more information.

Wpf open PDF file in Adobe Reader with a click on a button

I need a button to open a PDF file with Adobe Reader. I have the following code but it does not work. The file is inside Books folder
on my application.
private void openPDF(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
try
System.Diagnostics.Process process = new System.Diagnostics.Process();
bookPDF = "Books/" + dataRow.ItemArray[6].ToString();
Uri pdf = new Uri(bookPDF, UriKind.Relative);
process.StartInfo.FileName = pdf.LocalPath;
process.Start();
process.WaitForExit();
catch(Exception error)
MessageBox.Show("Could not open the file.", "Error", MessageBoxButton.OK, MessageBoxImage.Warning);
I tested a simple string with a test pdf file to open and it opens.
String file = "C:\pdf\Windows_Server_2008_R2_Unleashed.pdf";
process.StartInfo.FileName = file;
process.Start(); process.WaitForExit();

Hi Carlos Sota,
In my experience, I suggest that you could set Copy to Output Directory property of the PDF file to “Copy always”.
Below are my code snippet and screenshot.
private void Button_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
try
System.Diagnostics.Process process = new System.Diagnostics.Process();
string path = AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory+@"/abc.pdf";
Uri pdf = new Uri(path, UriKind.RelativeOrAbsolute);
process.StartInfo.FileName = pdf.LocalPath;
process.Start();
process.WaitForExit();
catch (Exception error)
MessageBox.Show("Could not open the file.", "Error", MessageBoxButton.OK, MessageBoxImage.Warning);

..(for exmple to open a .txt file in text editor or notepad automatically by clicking on a button);Earlier you mention 'open a file in jre', which implies maybe using a JEditorPane or similar to load the file contents into a JVM. Since the system generic 'text editor' and specifically 'notepad' are not embeddable in anything that can be put in a Java GUI, I am now confused as to whether you want to load the file within a Java based GUI or not. Which is it?
Help me out...Buy me an ice-cream. A nice, big, ice-cream.
People on forums do not generally take kindly to being told what to do, so it is better to turn commands like that into requests. The way to do that can be as easy as adding 'please' at the start of the command.

Open file button

Hi
Coulod anyone point me in the direction of creating an open file button please.
so a button that when clicked opens a file from a file server based on a path displayed in a text box.
Thanks in advance

I am a little unclear on "based on a path displayed in a text box.". Do you mean the text box would have some thing like C:\abc.jpg ?

Open pdf files from button

Hello, please i need help with my problem. Is there any way to open pdf files from button? How can i set this in DVD Studio? Thanks for your answer.

Just to pick up from Shawn - even if you do use DVD@ccess you cannot use a button to launch the link, you have to use a full menu. In practice, you use two identical menus and set the button for the PDF to go to the second menu, which is set to time out very quickly and jump back to the original menu. It gives the visual effect of a button launching the asset, but in fact it was the opening of the second menu which did the trick.
And just to emphasise what Shawn rightly said - don't use DVD@ccess. It is at best unreliable and for many PC users won't work at all. It is far better to add the PDF as ROM material and put a message on a menu screen that tells the user there is additional content on the disc, and how to access it. This has the added advantage of letting those using a set top player know the material is there without frustrating them that something doesn't 'automatically' work (you can't open a PDF on a set top player, only on a computer player).

While opening pdf files the menu bar, navigation bar cracks unobviously and also close and minimise buttons goes hidden..Facing the problem for last one month. Please help.

path in the text box directly, but i want to add a "OPEN FILE"

Hi,
I have done similar things with cmdlg.vbx (Common Dialog 16 bit
version) in Windows 3.11 as follows:
1. Create a VBX item
2. Open up Properties and set location of your cmdlg.vbx
3. Write a simple pl/sql such as FileOpen with a series of
Set_Property such as follows (example only):
VBX.Set_Property('<name of VBXItem>','<vbxproperty>','c:\temp');
where <vbxproperty> could be DialogTitle, InitDir, Filter etc.
(these can all be seen in Properties) depending on your
requirements.
Also, use
VBX.Set_Property('<name of VBXItem>','Flags','&H1800') to force
File Must Exist and Path Must Exist conditions when OPEN
and
VBX.Set_Property('<name of VBXItem>','CancelError','1') to trap
click on Cancel in the File Open dialog box.
4. To activate the File Open dialog box, use
VBX.Set_Property('<name of VBXItem>','Action','1');
5. To capture the selected filename, use
retFilename := VBX.Get_Property('<name of VBXItem>','Filename');
NB.
a) Instead of using '<name of VBXItem>', you could use Find_Item
and refer to its Handle. See VBX package spec.
b) All VBX properties are case-sensitive.
Will extract complete code and post it to you later.

Button action to execute *.dll pop ups 'you are attempting to open a file.

Hi
I am trying to run a simple program using a button which runs a .dll created from an .exe that writes output to a text file. My code is
public String button1_action() {
try {
String[] command = {"cmd", "/c","F:/CreatorProjects/Button1/WriteFile3.dll"};
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command);
p.waitFor();
//System.out.println("return code: "+ p.exitValue());
} catch (Exception e) {
log("Check button fault here: " + e);
return null;
When compile, run and deploy it pops up a message 'You are attempting to open a file of type 'Application extension' (.dll) asking me either to open or cancel. I wanted the *.dll use its class file and execute write on *.txt file. If I run it from command line it is working.
Also I don't understand the message in log file:
sun-appserver-pe8.2|org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext|_ThreadID=15;|error stopping
LifecycleException: Manager has not yet been started
Any help in this regard is greatly appreciated.
Dr.AM. Mohan Rao

First question: Is it a Java dialog or a dialog from the OS?
If OS, can you try to create an *.exe file which would do the same thing?

Opening a file dialog box with a button while the data graph is running continuos aquisition

I am running a continuous aquisition that is hardware timed. I display the data on a graph. While running the VI that is displaying the graph I want to open a file to write the data for a period of time then be able to select a new file after the file is written by hitting the open file button again. I also want to just have the file open and after it is opened hit another button that begins the writing to the file.

To accomplish the first task use a control button, a case structure and a sub vi located inside the case structure. The control button determines the status of the case structure in response to user click. The sub vi writes your data into the file you specified in the file dialog. The entire process repeat itself each time the button is clicked. The set-up of the sub vi depends on organization and type of file you want. I think the second task is just a modification of the first.

How To Open a subVi by pressing an "open file button",

I got this Readdatasubvi I want to run when I press a 'Open file' button in the main vi, Then The sub vi runs and a open file menu opens to choose a file to read from and plot out to a graph. It is working but how can I see the readDataSub VI as an application wich are running parallel with the main VI. It only runs in the background, and I cant see the plottet data Why????? The sub vi has a graph for the plotted data! but it never shows up!
an example is attached..
I'll appreciate any suggestions .
The stars are ofcourse waiting!

Hi,
i tweaked you example.
I guess that's what you're looking for.

P.S.: I unchecked the "open frontpanel" in the vi properties. i open (close) the frontpanel using property nodes now.

Help in button action to open a file that is attached to main pdf doc

Hello,
I have created a button and used an icon saying "click here...." the action I want to attach to it is to have on mouse down for it to open the file which is attached to the document.
Is this possible? If so how do I direct the acton of "open file" to be the one attached in document? can't figure out path...
there was a suggestion of how to make a javascript for the button action to open the attachment panel...
this is what was written... and then below that is my question on what was written...
thomp wrote:Try thisif(app.viewerVersion < 8)
app.execMenuItem(....);
else
app.execMenuItem(....);
what would go in the '(...)' above?
I am very poor at javascript, but I am guessing that there is something I would need to fill in there? Am I correct?
thank you...
I, too, am trying to get my button action to open the attached document in my pdf form - NOT the navigation panel... I already have it doing that...
thanks again for any feedback!

Erin,
After you set your link... go back into the edit mode, click on your link and go to Actions Tab, click on the "go to page view in another document' under the actions part of that tab (bottom portion of page), then click on Edit... it will open a 'Target Document' window and in the top portion click on 'open in...' drop down box and select 'new window'.... close out and SAVE!
Hope that helps!
