Why do I think that there is/was a way to do this in Metacard?

Hi Chipp,
The adobe pdf plug-in inside a browser displays

That's what I was afraid of... the problem is that in order to do that, you
need to either be able to invisibl
launching another app and then running Apple Script or something.

One of the posts to the SuperCard list mentioned a neat feature using QT
under OS X: you can load PDF files inside of a Player object and then
(assuming you have the controller showing) page through the PDF using
the controller (or you can do so using a 'set the currentTime' script).

Thanks Mark,
And no need to apologize. I guess I can turn some stacks into

How do you open a URL pdf file with Metacard?
If you have a field "url" with several pdf file urls then...
put the selectedText of fld "url" into ff
if ff is empty then exit switch
get char -4 to -1 of ff
put url ff into fld "urlresult"
How do you
it simply place a high-resolution image of the form onto a
PDF, allowing you to place entry boxes over it? This would be easy to
do in MC/Rev.

I tried this but it didn't seem to work. I found that the File Exchange

This is a bit like a new toy.
Using the method outlined in my previous mail, here's a way to get
various information ab
le AppleScript. This event is also
listed in the Standard Additions file, and is meant to run a
specified AppleScript. The one-line script I wanted to run was
something like this:
tell application "Finder" to open file

ferences, and Metacard can only send text

I think I don't quite follow you, because I thought that when you send a
"miscdosc" message, a script is executed. At least so acts MC. Doesn't
"miscdosc" stand for "Miscellaneous: Do Script"?

If you really need to do this without the externals collection, you
could compile a small AppleScript as a standalone application that
reads a file name from an external text file, and then opens that
file with Acrobat. From within your Metacard application, you could

Hi All
I'm wondering if anyone has the PDF fileType and creator code for Mac. I
don't have a mac to work on yet so I can't use the normal methods to find
this out.
I'm also looking for scripts to open Acrobat on Mac. I think the Windows
version was posted a few weeks back.
