I access pdf inserted as references, stored on windows, from both mac
and windows; under fms9. Images are inserted into the db, rather than
referenced.
I use a conditional test that evaluates the platform, and inserts the
appropriate prefix relevant to the platform. This may or may not be
worth trying.
A complication that noticed somewhere recently, is either / or \ in the
paths; FM has a slightly quirky approach as I recall it was regarded,
have not got around to looking at this...
