Newbies niccig Posted August 3, 2006 Newbies Share Posted August 3, 2006 (edited) I have several detailed reports that I would like to export as a PDF file to send via email to colleagues. Can I do this in FM 6 or do I need to export the records to Word, format as needed and then save that document as a PDF file? If FM 6 does't support exporting to PDF, do more recent versions? It may be worth it to upgrade. Thanks, Nicci Edited August 3, 2006 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenton Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 Since you're on a Mac, Save As PDF is built-in to the Print dialog. So you should be able to use that. If you want to do several in a script, then you'd need to either use AppleScript to rename each file after it was created, or, better, upgrade to FileMaker 8, which has a Save Records As PDF command, and the ability to use a script Variable to set the names dynamically. It's simpler. The AppleScript rename method is pretty simple also. Unfortunately I don't have any .fp5 examples of it. I converted all mine; never going back :-] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
