Jalz Posted July 10, 2003 Share Posted July 10, 2003 Hi guys, Im using a Macintosh (OS 9), and FileMaker Pro 6. Is it possible to program a script, so that it launches Outlook and attaches a PDF or JPG of a layout I have designed in FileMaker. Im sure there is a plugin that will allow you to do this. Thanks guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JaseFace Posted September 11, 2003 Share Posted September 11, 2003 Dear All, If you have Acrobat, (you needn't install the whole thing, choose custom) you can install the Acrobat PDFWriter (virtual printer). Then print to it and select 'Print to file', name the print and you can attach (albeit manually) JaseFace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaseFace Posted September 11, 2003 Share Posted September 11, 2003 Darn, ... it to your email, JaseFace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
booboo Posted September 12, 2003 Share Posted September 12, 2003 If you were thinking of moving to OS X, then this might be a clincher. You can script the Print functions to Save As pdf and have FileMaker automatically attach these to an email.... JaseFace, are your sure the Adobe pdf printer driver can't be automated directly from FM (in Mac OS9)?
