Opening a PDF file with Skill

Geoff
Geoff over 16 years ago

Is there a way to open a PDF file from skill? (I am using windows XP)

In my Skill Program, I want to link layout notes (PDF) for certain components. That way I'll be able to know which parts need special attention.

    Not to my knowledge.  However, if you can copy the text from the PDF and paste it into a text program like Notepad.  Then you could read that file.

     Thank you,

    I think Allegro only read file notepad, so it can't read line.

    How about you
