If I am understanding this, you're asking if a file that is *contained*
in a .PDF can be opened from a dBASE application ...? It would mean
having the ability to read the contents of a .PDF file, find the name
(and path) of a file contained in the .PDF, and try opening it. I am not
sure this is possible. I could be wrong, but it's not something I would
want to attempt ...

Try %20 for a space, and see if that does the trick ...

Maybe this is a better place for the question:
If I create a .pdf and a part of the text is a link like
http://www.mythings.es/pdf/contacto_15_fotos.pdf
It opens the document ... in this case a .pdf.
I wonder if there is a way to open it IN YOUR OWN
computer
I mean ... if you have the file in
c:\mythings\pdf\contacto_15_fotos.pdf
¿Can it be opened?
Thanks
Emilio

With regards to the space. It seems I played around with that a while back
all you need to do is put "" quotation marks around the file name.
"File://c:/mythings/pdf/contacto_15_fotos.pdf"

Yes, write the link as indicated below, remember all slashes must be _forward_
slashes, however I
can't make it work when there is a space in the path name!!!. Maybe somebody has
a solution.
