I would like to request the ability to simply link to a PDF and not have it saved within Realm Works. A lot of the PDFs I have are over 30mb and don't really need them contained within the program, but being able to link to them within Realm Works, would making opening them easier.
It's not a priority request, just a quality of life one. |

If it is possible to use a URL to link to a specific page within a PDF, then you could store the link within some text.
I'm not sure how URLs work for opening something like Acrobat Reader though. |

Acrobat can open PDF URL's. Of course, it also depends on your default browser.

A hyperlink to a PDF on the internet seems to work, but it "doesn't support" a link to a file on one's own computer. Seems that would be a headache when trying to use Realm Works on more than one device.

In the case of pathfinder, setting up url's to d20pfsrd.com should be doable or even the game reference document from paizo's site. I know that doesn't cover all bases, but should cover the rules, leaving you plenty of options to add fluff to your realm.

Supporting external object snippets that live out on the internet on URLs instead of within Realm Works is something we've got on the todo list already. So it would allow you to access PDFs outside of Realm Works, plus any other type of content you want, whether it be websites, large images, pictures, audio clips, video clips, etc.
Feel free to continue up-voting this so we know where to prioritize it. |

+1 for this.
Sleet was enjoying a tasty beverage at his local tavern, when a Tarrasque showed up in the local area. He managed to valiantly get on it's back and ride it. How he did it is a mystery to this day...
