Saving as a .pdf

[Eoin O Riabhaigh 0]

When I save to .pdf the default setting in the Save box is  "Records Being Browsed". This is very awkward for me as I discovered I almost sent my entire library of invoices to someone. Is there any way of setting the default in this field to "Current Record" so I won't make this mistake in the future?

If you do it thru a script it gives you the option when you set it up.  Are you doing it another way?

Well best option is to totality script it or if you know you only ever want to send the ONE invoices then you can create a self relationship and do a GTRR this way you would only have 1 record then the setting on the PDF generation doesn't matter.

OK guys. Thanks for that. I'm just a novice at this so I'll have to do a lot of research to script it.

It's not that difficult. Basically the same as doing it manually - except all your choices are stored in the script and recalled when you run it. You may not even need a script - a button set to perform a single step could be all that's required.

Not sure if I'm on the right track here but I have created a button and applied a Save A Copy script to it. I click on the settings icon next to it and get the choice to Specify the Output. That's not really what I need is it?

If you want to automate the File > Save/Send Records As > PDF…  menu command, then you should use the Save Records As PDF script step.
