fleecy Posted January 2, 2005 Posted January 2, 2005 Happy 2005 everyone! I'm looking for a way to have FileMaker print two different layouts to a single PDF file. I currently have to click "Save as PDF" for the first layout in OS X's Print dialog box, save it to my hard drive, then execute a second script to get the second part of my PDF created (with another click on "Save as PDF") and finally merge the two parts using Acrobat Pro 6.0.2. Is there a way to get FM to save directly to a PDF file? Can I also get FM to append pages to an existing PDF file instead of doing a manual merge in Acrobat?
chemparrot Posted January 3, 2005 Posted January 3, 2005 That's the way I am doing it as well. I made an AppleScript (which works most of the time - still wondering about that) which renames the files in Finder using the contents of a field so that I can tell them apart (I am generating as many as 25-30 tables at a time which need to be merged later). I don't think there is a way to do this more directly, though.
TRF Posted January 3, 2005 Posted January 3, 2005 I thought there was an XSLT for formatting as a pdf. Certainly this would be a LOT of work but it would allow you to combine data on the fly more easily.
fleecy Posted January 21, 2005 Author Posted January 21, 2005 I've been doing this for 3 years now, so I guess I'll keep doing it! Thanks for the input!
