Open jpg file

Hi
please, can someone help me to solve this problem?
I have a folder where I have a folder where there are several jpg files.
these files are named
ONE.jpg
TWO.jpg
THREE.jpg
etc.
In a PDF file I created a drop-down menu called "PHOTO" with the list of file names (ONE.jpg; TWO.jpg; THREE.jpg; etc.)
I would like to create a button that opens the jpg file selected from the drop down menu
The path to the card containing the jpg files is
C:\Users\Name Surname\Documents\AUXILIA\AGENCIES\PHOTOS
I tried with the app.openDoc function but it doesn't work (only works with PDF files)
app.openDoc("C:/Users/Name Surname/Documents/AUXILIA/AGENCIES/PHOTO/"+this.getField("PHOTO").value);
Is there a function to solve this problem?
Thank you

Try this:

app.openDoc({cPath: "/C/Users/Name Surname/Documents/AUXILIA/AGENCIES/PHOTO/"+this.getField("PHOTO").valueAsString, bUseConv: true});

 

Note this will only work in Acrobat, not in Reader. And of course the files will have to be located in that exact location for it to work...

A thousand thanks
so you can't open it with the windows paint program, but only with Acrobat?

Not unless the file is attached to the PDF, no.
