Print two layouts in one PDF

Featured Replies

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?

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. frown.gif

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.

I've been doing this for 3 years now, so I guess I'll keep doing it!

Thanks for the input!
