Insert PDF error

[Aussie John]

Hello - If I run my script to insert a PDF from a saved PDF I get an error after the insert picture step saying "can't find the file" - I tried "insert PDF" but the debugger says it is a wrong file type. The data viewer shows - $temppath as 

filemac:/Macintosh HD/var/folders/bd/v_q7j9997d1dph_lz5m1x_mm0000gn/T/S10/Dec 2016-2077 UTAS Retainer.pdf

the Script is as follows;

Set Variable [ $temppath; Value:"filemac:/"&Get(TemporaryPath)&Project»DATA::worksheet filename&".pdf" ]
Save Records as PDF [ File Name: “$temppath”; Current record ]
Go to Field [ worksheet PDFs::PDF ]
[ Select/perform ]
Insert Picture [ “$temppath” ]

Any help would be appreciated. Cheers John

Drop filemac: , it's not needed. You have an extra space before .pdf.

Not sure what context you are in. So, does that Go to Field fail?

[Aussie John]

Thanks but unfortunately no luck

1. I had already tried with out filemac (didn't work).
2. There is no space - just looks that way
3. And yes I can see the field highlight during the script

What is the error when you step the script?

[Aussie John]

The file appears to save ok and the error occurs on the insert picture step. (error 100 file is missing).

Just to be sure I changed get(temporarypath) to get(desktop path) but with same error.

So, you see the PDF on the desktop. What if you used Insert File instead of Insert Picture?

[Aussie John]

Yes PDF is visible and will attach to an email if the check box is selected.

Insert file does work. just not Insert picture or PDF
