export to pdf with name of the record

[justdippin]

Hi all,

i want to export my fm database to pdf. But i want the name of the file to be similier to the chosen record that's getting exported.

Can this be done in Fm or can't the name be variable?

thx in advance for ur help

When scripting the saving of records as PDF you can specify the output file as a script variable.

So before the Save Record As PDF step put a Set Variable step and set that variable, $path in this example, to the path of the PDF including the name.

For example, "filewin:/C:/" & name_Record

Then type "$path" into the Specify Output File dialog box in the Save Record As PDF step.
