Filemaker GO send record as pdf

[schmegol]

I have done a lot of research and don't see a solution. What I want to do is send and existing record atttached as a PDF via email in Filemaker go to wherever. everything I read says I have to save the record as PDF first? Then create a file path to the specific record. But that will clutter up the IOS too much. Kinda like print to pdf with email attachment and name the pdf a value from a field.   I know this is probably possible, but I can't get it to work. So I'm reaching out to you Genius' if there is a solution that just creates an email attachment of the current layout and current record as a pdf .  Make sense?

 

Thank you in advance for reading

Hello, I think you just need to use the Get (TemporaryPath) function, see the post at ...

 

This gives you an example of a script that sends a PDF and the resulting PDF does not clutter the iOS, since it is saved in the TemporaryPath location, which is purged by FileMaker Go regularly.

is there a way to do this in osx and filemaker go? so far, testing it in FMP 14  on OSX does not work....

The script sample linked to above should work - how is it not working for you?
