Working with Pdf files

Although it is not a database, FlexMail is capable of opening multi-page PDF-files. For this file type FlexMail will display the pages in the designer and one record per page with the file name and the page number in the Datasheet.

To link a PDF-file:

  1. On the Datasources tab, in the Link External Data group, click PDF.

  2. In the Link Data dialog box, in the File name box, specify the name of the PDF-file.

  3. Click Open.

  4. If the selected page size is different from the page size of the pages in the loaded PDF-file a window will be shown where you can make one of the following choices:

    If the selected page size is the same as the page size of the pages in the loaded PDF-file the PDF file will be opened, the pages displayed and the datasheet filled.

NOTE: To move the PDF on the selected page, right-click on the page and select Move. Then move the page with the mouse to the desired position.
