Foreign Object Snippet

the_redbeard · October 7th, 2015, 11:52 AM

I don't understand the 'foreign object' or documents snippets. I'm not wanting to incorporate the document (a large pdf) into Realm Works. I just want to link to it so I don't have to go searching for it. But RW has a size limit for pdfs. What's up with that? Am I missing something?

The document snippet loads it into RW, so that PDF is uploaded to the cloud and available on any device running realmworks.

Frequent forum user Parody and others have discussed how to link to files on your desktop vs. importing the file into RW. You may find the following threads useful:

I personally use foreign object snippets to link to .ipt files that bring up random charts made in Inspiration Pad Pro 3 (as well as how MNBlockHead mentioned with pdfs). Works great!
