Chris Christou Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 I have FileMaker Pro 6 and MAC OS 10.3.2 I have a database and would like to create a script, which would do the following: Go to a Layout in Preview mode Create a PDF file of that layout adopting a filename from a field, save it into a predefined directory and then E-mail that PDF file adopting the e-mail address from another field. Any Suggestions? FileMaker Version: 6 Platform: Mac OS X Panther Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reed Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 Everything except dynamically naming a file with field contents can be done in scriptmaker. You could use an applescript to change the filename after you create the pdf, but then you wouldn't be able to use the send mail script step to send the file, since you can't dynamically name attachments. If you use a constant name, you could send different attachments to each recipient by overwriting the previous file Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Benjamin Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 If you are using Mac OS X, see the thread#101779: http://www.fmforums.com/threads/showflat.php/Cat/0/Number/101779/page/0/view/collapsed/sb/5/o/all/fpart/1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
