Click the button you created in the step 2 and type
Lease Document
. Change the
text style to bold so it stands out
.
If the insertion point disappears, select the Text tool and then double-click the button
to get the insertion point back.
7.
Drag the Lease Document field into the popover window. Resize it to fill the win-
dow
.
If you didn't draw your popover window large enough back in step 3, you may need
to make it bigger and then resize the Lease Document field. Your popover window is
complete.
Switch to Browse mode to see the popover in action. Find the record for Antoine Batiste,
whose record contains a lease document file. When you click the popover button, the pop-
over window opens, displaying a file icon—just like the Lease Document field did before
you made the popover. You need to change the Lease Document field to display the file's
contents instead. Here's how:
1.
Switch back to Layout mode and double-click the popover button you just cre-
ated
.
The popover window appears with the Lease Document field inside.
2.
Click the Lease Document field to select it and then choose the Inspector's Data
tab. In the Data Formatting section, select “Optimize for Interactive content.”
You've changed the field's behavior to display the contents of the PDF file, but you
must the file reimport the file for it to work.
NOTE
For the next step, you need a PDF file to insert. If you didn't download the samples from
this topic's Missing CD page, you can find them at
www.missingmanuals.com/cds/fm-
p13mm
.
3.
Switch back to Browse mode, click the button to open the popover window and
then select the Lease Document field. Choose
→
Insert PDF and find the file you
want to import (the Missing CD folder gives you sample PDFs for the first six re-
cords in the Lease Agreement database)
.
The PDF document appears in the popover window. You may need to expand the pop-
over window and the lease document field to see the PDF controls.
