Purpose
Imports a PDF file, or a reference to a PDF file, into the current interactive container.

Options
• Select Store only a reference to have FileMaker Pro store a link to a PDF file in the
container field instead of the actual file. This option may reduce the size of your
FileMaker
Pro file, but if you move or delete the file being referenced, FileMaker Pro won't
be able to display it.
• Select Specify source file or click Specify to display the Specify PDF File dialog box,
where you can specify the PDF file you intend to insert in the interactive container. Or click
Add File to choose a file to insert. For more information, see Creating file paths.
