I am trying to automate a script which will print a PDF for a set of records, one PDF each - like a catalog layout, one page each. I can get the Print to PDF to work, but I don;t know if Filemaker can rename the file so that the PDF does not overwrite itself each time. I would like to use a field to capture the saved PDF filename, but I am not sure if I can do this without third party or using applescript.

HELP! - and thanks!

Use the Send Event script step to rename the file to something unique each time.

how do you use the Send event script step to rename a file?

Several ways. One way is create a batch file with %1 the parameter which is read from the command line in Send Event. Search the Forums for Send Event and you'll find specific examples.
