Create a hyperlink to a mac application and open

[Mattmcquiff]

I'm just find some of the uses of inDesign, and now I have realised I can open "folders" on my mac from PDF files (currently only from acrobat not preview). (not sure of the reason)

What I would ultimately like to do is open  an application the best I can do is point it at an application as a file

/Volumes/CloudStorage/Dropbox/Scripts/Dock Scripts/KeywordChecker.app/Contents/MacOS/CocoaApplet

As you can see it wont let me select the app but the Unix Executable. It only shows the file location and if I then run it the terminal window shows and does exit?

Can this be done cleaner?

Many thanks

Matt

There is no way to do this from InDesign. You might check the Acrobat forum.

Not a problem, that helps a lot. Right click then just us the run javascript.

var keycheck = Application('/Volumes/CloudStorage/Dropbox/Scripts/Dock Scripts/KeywordChecker.app');

keycheck.activate();

Still have some other issues, but that has put me on track.

Thanks
