Export incompatibility with Mac OS Intel

[guillaumebob]

Hello,

I have noticed incompatibility problems between FM export function and Mac OS Intel, like this one :

MAC OS X version 10.4.11

Processeur 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo

The Save in PDF script and other export functions don't work on this platform.

Besides, I am using ncftp client to send files to a web server, and it won't work either.

Have someone already noticed theses issues and how to fix it ?

Thanks for your help,

Guillaume

There may be a problem with Adobe on that machine. I'm running 10.4.11 on a Core Duo (older), and it works fine. Many people with PDF problems found that deleting this file, then restarting helped:

/Users//Library/ApplicationSupport/Adobe/TypeSpt/AdobeFnt08.lst

You also say "other export functions." Is it possible you're seeing a FileMaker Accounts & Privileges restriction here? If the [ ] Allow exporting is not checked for that account, you won't be able to export, in any way. Do you know the Full Access account/password?

I don't know what ncftp is, so no idea there.

I have deleted the Adobe file on different Mac OS Intel platforms, but with no results so far.

The same error message appears when I try to do an export (in PDF or XML, JPEG, XLS) : "The file could not be created, change its name, free disk space..." (this is actually a translation from a message in french).

This incompatibility appears with FileMaker 8.5 or 9. Maybe I need to downgrade to older Adobe Reader ?

Are you absolutely sure that you're using a valid FileMaker syntax file path? Because you get that same message if there is ANYTHING wrong with the file path.

The syntax file path is : "$$CheminPDF/Bob_contrats/$NomFichier" with variables defined elsewhere in the script.

Actually, the script works fine on other platforms (Windows, Mac PPC).
