I have an external PDF (not created in WF) that I would like to import or reference into an HTML page. Is there a way to do this?

I'd rather not type out the entire document using text box's!

Thank you!

You should be able to either place the PDF in a location accessible from the web server or import the PDF into the content in WebFOCUS.

After that its just a link to the location.

Can you please elaborate on that? Inside of my HTML Page (App Studio), I can't figure out how to bring in the PDF. I tried putting in a report placeholder, graph, frame, even image for kicks. Can't seem to figure out how to bring it in! Thanks so much for your help!

Your question alone solved my problem. My final output is a portal. All I had to do was drag it onto the portal, and not use HTML Composer. Thanks for your help!
