Replace existing pdf instead of appending

[Corey-Troy]

I have a script that creates a numerous(calculated) page pdf.

However, if i create the pdf, then create it again, the 2nd pdf pages are added to the previous pdf.

I script the pdf to be saved in the Windows/temp folder as a calculated value name(eg. swp123.pdf).

I do not have the 'Append to existing pdf' ticked for the 1st page being created as a pdf, but the other pages i have it ticked, as they are pages added to the existing pages.

So i do not know why it is appended to a previously created pdf, if one existed.

Is there a way to have a step added to the script, to check to see if a pdf with the calculated name already exists before creating a 2nd pdf.

If so, to delete the 1st pdf, and then create the new pdf?

I think the trick is to export an empty container to the file you want to remove.

Is there a way to tell via Filemaker, if there is a pdf already created first, if so how ?
