You will have to use the Data Object to be able to open a PDF attachment.

See Open Attachment via button and javascript , http://forum.planetpdf.com/webboard/wbpx.dll/read?146886,34 , for more information. It should be noted that only PDF files that are attached to a PDF can be opened by JavaScript and this is available to version 7 and above.

I have the same problem, and the link won´t help me.

With: this.importDataObject("test");
I attach my pdf file.

And then the attachments should open with a menu:

doku = app.popUpMenu("Plan_1", "Plan_2", "Plan_3");

if (doku == "Plan_1")
{
this.openDataObject("Unbenanntes Objekt");
}

But it won´t open. Why?
"Hidden" is "true", but can not set "false".
Is there no other possibility to open an attachment, then "Go to a page view"?
