link to PDF field
Author: Julia Veir    Posted: Tue, 24 Jun 2003 10:09:57 -0600
I'm trying to finally organize all my papers on PDF and so am using this field for the first time. However, when I manually enter the file path, it thinks it is a URL and says it can't find it. What am I missing? entered text: c:\papers\gastric vs post pyloric feeding Thanks!

Try adding <.pdf> at the end of the file path. -----Original Message----- From: /> On Behalf Of Julia Veir Sent: Tuesday, June 24, 2003 12:10 PM To: /> Subject: <RefMan> link to PDF field I'm trying to finally organize all my papers on PDF and so am using this field for the first time.

If you will right-click in the empty Link to PDF field, you can select "Insert file." This will take you to a file browse window so you can locate your pdf file and click Open. It will insert the clickable file link into the RefMan records. Jeanie Woodruff M. D. Anderson Cancer Center Houston, Texas on 06/24/2003 11:09:57 AM Please respond to /> To: cc: (bcc: Jeanie F.

make sure you put the ".pdf" (without quotes) extension at the end of your link.

Julia, Right click on the icon next to Link to PDF and select Insert File from the menu that appears. This brings up a search box where you can then navigate to the file.

If "c:\papers\gastric vs post pyloric feeding" is the path to the directory with the pdf file in it, that should work. It does for me with this path: "E:\Acrobat Downloads\Lancet". The quotes are for readability only, they are not required on my system (NT4). I'd suggest checking for typo's, especially punctuation and spaces.

Probably the spaces, and lack of a .pdf.

Spaces didn't bother me, and a reference to a directory works fine. At 03:56 PM 6/24/2003 -0700, you wrote: >Probably the spaces, and lack of a .pdf. Gary Novack ---------- M.
