I have two Microsoft word document inside a two container fields,

The goal is to combine the two containers and make it to a single PDF document.

Has anyone done this?

You'll need to make the two word documents into one PDF outside of FM.

Yup, thats the obvious way of doing it.

My client requested it to be done automatically with a single button inside FM, so I figure if theres a way to do it.

Thanks for the input

Anyone else?

Filemaker cannot combine two Word documents, and cannot convert a Word document to PDF. Perhaps you could use a plugin to extract the contents of the files:

though I believe you would lose all text formatting in the process.

Another possible option is to export the files, and call a VB script to tell Word to handle the rest. I'm afraid that as a Mac user I can't tell you much more, but do check out the Windows Automation section of the forums.

You're right, I was thinking of exporting it, that way the formatting stays(important).

I know its not going to be easy, but I didnt expect its going to utilize external script. But I'll do anything to satisfy my client.

Thanks for the input
