How to display a PDF or Word doc in a report?

edited Sep 29, 2011 3:55PM in Oracle Reports (MOSC) 4 commentsAnswered
I'm using Report Builders 6.0.8.27.0 on Win XP Pro.  The report display employee's record.  One of the column (named EMP_DOC) in the report contains the location and name of a file (either PDF or Word doc) stored on the server.  When the report is displayed, the linked doc should be displayed without the need to click a button.  Should I try the OLE or Link File approach?  As you can see, the Report should be capable of displaying any document specified in EMP_DOC.  Can't pick an existing file.

Sorry.  I need to add some details:
When the report displays, the document (whether a PDF or Word doc) should also display as an integral page in the report without the user having to click any button nor a separate reader (Acrobat reader, MS Word) be called.

Howdy, Stranger!
