This is a Mac OS X 10.4x installation. We would like to be able to email a personalized PDF to a subset of our address file and incorporate information from a linked table in the PDF. This is a registration database. We want to be able to send out a pdf (with letterhead graphic) reading "Dear Someone, Thank you for registering for some class. Some class will meet on some date in some building. "

The email address and the name (someone) come from a people database.

the some class, date and building will come from a classes database.

I know that I can do this without the pdf by using the send mail scrpit step, but the boss really wants it to go out as a pdf attachment.

I do a similar thing all the time.

Here are the general steps.

1) Create a layout that shows the information how you want it to appear in the pdf.

2) Create a new table for handling the actual emails.

3) Create a script the exports the first layout as a pdf, then creates a new email record in the email table, then imports the pdf you just created into a container field in the email table, then use the email record script command to send the email with the pdf attachment.

... Even though this post is dead....

I use the following:

SetVar ($SavePath ; "c:Letter.pdf")

Save Records As PDF (Specify $SavePath as your save path...)

Send Mail (Specify $SavePath as your attachment)

and thats it... I actually use a different filepath for my save path but never the less.
