alopas Posted January 7, 2002 Share Posted January 7, 2002 Hi, Is there any way to export data to MS Word, Excel, or another program, keeping the FMP layout? Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven H. Blackwell Posted January 7, 2002 Share Posted January 7, 2002 depends on what you mean by keeping the layout. The export is easy, or you can mobe data via one of the external API's. Can you tell us more of what you mean? Old Advance Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alopas Posted January 7, 2002 Author Share Posted January 7, 2002 I need to pass by email some records that make a catalog. I made the layout for the catalog in list view, with a box for each record and the company logo in each table. I usually fax it because I can only transfer to Excel the content of the fields, but not the tables or images. I was wondering if there is another way of exporting the information by keeping the layout format as I print it, so I can email it. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danjacoby Posted January 7, 2002 Share Posted January 7, 2002 If you're just e-mailing output for viewing, could you print to a PDF file? Just a thought, Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alopas Posted January 7, 2002 Author Share Posted January 7, 2002 Exporting as PDF would solve the problem, that would be great. How can I do it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alopas Posted January 8, 2002 Author Share Posted January 8, 2002 OK, this is what I needed!. Thanks a lot. Just one more question. This is what I did: 1. Went to "print" and selected "file" as destination. 2. Got the file ("tool bar dock.ps") and opened with adobe illustrator. 3. Saved it as PDF My question is: Is there any way of saving it as PDF so all the pages are shown? (The problem is that by saving the file as above, only the first page is shown both in illustrator and acrobat) Thank you for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alopas Posted January 8, 2002 Author Share Posted January 8, 2002 Is it possible to do what I mention above? Please advise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajpid Posted January 17, 2002 Share Posted January 17, 2002 Maceo, your problem is that you don't have the full version of Acrobat. With that you could export your FileMaker report to a multi-page PDF. Illustrator is a single-page workaround. -- Aj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
