Linking ballooned PDF drawing

We have PDF ballooned prints that we store on a server. What I'm trying to do is give quick access to the ballooned print to our operators if its needed. Granted the easy way is just to provide a link to the folder and tell them to go fetch if they need it. I'd like to try and make it better then just providing the folder. A few ideas I'm not sure is possible.

1: Have PCDMIS embed a hyperlink into the PDF report. is this possible?

2: Have PCDMIS amend the pdf report to include the ballooned print for the final page. is this possible?

3: Insert a report object into the PCDMIS program that opens the pdf. Can use a comment to logically open or not open. "This option works I've tried it"

Also curious as to how everyone else distributes their ballooned prints?

    Comment: do you want to open the prints?
    if yes

    ASSIGN/EXE="<pdf reader’s file path>.exe"


    ASSIGN/PRINT1="<print 1’s file path>.pdf "
    EXTERNALCOMMAND/NODISPLAY ; EXE + " " + CHR(34)+ PRINT1 + CHR(34)

    ASSIGN/PRINT2="<print 2’s file path>.pdf "
    EXTERNALCOMMAND/DISPLAY ; EXE + " " + CHR(34)+ PRINT2 + CHR(34)
