Open PDF file using Skill in Cadence 20.1

kdolan over 4 years ago

HI,

Is there a skill command to open and view a pdf file from within Cadence 20.1?

Thanks,

Keelan

Keelan,

Depending on which PDF viewer you have on your system, it's likely to be something like this:

system(lsprintf("evince %s" pdfFileName))

where pdfFileName is variable containing the path to the PDF file. Here I'm using the evince PDF viewer.

Works perfectly! I was unaware of the "system" function.

Thanks Andrew!
