Link a custom button to a PDF file

Post by Yaacov »

Hi all,
Using Flare 2017 r2 on Windows 10.
I've created a custom topic toolbar button for HTML5 output.
Now I want to link the button to a PDF file that will be in the same output folder as the Web output.
The PDF file may not exists at the time that the output is compiled.
How do I do this and what path would I put in the Styles > Event > Click field?
In addition, there will be multiple targets each with its own PDF file. Con I use a wildcard in the Styles > Event > Click field path (i.e. *.pdf)?

Thanx in advance,
Yaacov

Even with a wildcard search how will the link know what to link TO for a PDF name? Seems like you'd have to do a lot of querying before you filled in the name for the link to work properly.
