February 4, 200322 yr Hi I am new to this forum. I would like to start my contribution by making a recommandation to a very good software in my opinion that simplifies faxing from FMP (via AppleScript). Since I moved to OSX, I had tremendous problems with faxing. The software I was using -- FaxExpress -- was not able to do the job anymore although I enjoyed it for a long time. I had wrote some FMP script to automatically send faxes from my FMP databases. Recently a friend pointed out Page Sender (http://www.smilesoftware.com) and it solved all my problems. It works beautifully. Don't hesitate to contact me if you need further assistance to link PageSender to FMP.
May 3, 200322 yr Newbies Can you send me the script . I use the the print center script with FM and it works every time
June 28, 200421 yr Wow, this does look cool, and the price is right! I'd be very interested in setting this up on a stand-alone fax machine that would continuously check for faxes that need to be sent from FileMaker. I wonder if it could be set up so that received faxes get loaded into FMP7 containers. Now THAT would be sweet!
July 11, 200421 yr Newbies Hi ! I use filemaker 7 (a development based on the business tracker model)for sales and quotes management. I also have bought pagesender (because it enable document attachment vs faxstf). I want to send to customers (on the FM contact DB) by fax or email not only a naked "invoice" as in the example script given by page sender but also a personalized letter (template on FM) a product sheet of the request item (also a template on FM product DB) as well as a help document (a pdf on the computer that depends on the product being quoted). Can somebody help me with the scripts to : - how to merge multiple documents/templates into one fax (possibly also with a total number of pages indicated on cover) - how to script attached document to fax or email depending on a field in FM If this is too complicated and there is a readiliy available commercial product that does that, I am also interested. Thank you so much ! jaf
October 28, 200421 yr This is a piece of cake with FMP and PageSender. Simply create a layout that has your required information. Go to that layout and follow the example script in PageSender to get that layout faxed/email'd. It sounds like your greatest amount of work involves getting the layout formatted to your satisfaction.
