Add links to PDFs generated from FileMaker

As a Claris partner , we also resell FileMaker licenses . Buying the license from us has some extra benefit , one of them being a nicely formatted PDF document with all information about the license, including download links . In order to be able to generate this document from our FileMaker based CRM, I needed to find a way to include functional web links in it. So I wrote a custom function that does it, without needing any plug-ins or other external technologies.

The custom function simply takes a PDF saved from FileMaker, and adds a link to it . As long as you know what page and where on that page you want the link to be, you can modify your PDF that easily . All without any plug-ins.
