Hello,

I would like have pop-up in a PDF file for some fields (to explain how the field is calculated).
We have no problem to do it in HTML but we can't find a solution for PDF.

If you have a solution, you're welcome.
Thanks a lot.
Merci beaucoup
Catherine

not sure there's such a thing as a PDF pop-up. If so, I've never heard of it.

You could achieve the same effect using some HTML (which is itself the 'popup') and a redirection to the PDF.

FEX:
-SET &PGMNAME = 'MYCARPGM';

-***********************************************
-SET &APPFILE = &PGMNAME||'.PDF';
APP FILEDEF &PGMNAME DISK LIBRARY/&APPFILE
-***********************************************
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT
*
ON TABLE HOLD AS &PGMNAME FORMAT PDF
END

-***********************************************
-SET &FILENAME = LOCASE(10,&PGMNAME,&PGMNAME);
-SET &LINK = 'http://server:8080/approot/library/'||&FILENAME||'.pdf';
-HTMLFORM BEGIN
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2 Final//EN">
<html>
<head>

<title>Redirecting...</title>

<script type="text/javascript">

function open_win() {
   var doc_url      = "http://webserver/explanation_page.htm";
   newwindow=window.open(doc_url,'name','height=700,width=700,resizable,toolbar,scrollbars,location');

   var redirect_url = "&LINK";
   window.location  = redirect_url;

   var t=setTimeout("alertMsg()",3000)
}
</script>
</head>

<body onload="open_win()">
!IBI.FIL.REPORT;
</body>

</html>

You could also get creative by using the same approach to make a framed HTML page where the left pane is a definitions page and the right frame is the PDF contents. Same approach, different implementation.
