Save as PDF icon in Status Area

[DFehrenbach]

I want to give users the ability to save a PDF in addition to allowing to print from a Preview layout.

Unfortunately, the only time the icon is enabled in the status area is when the Privilege Setting for "Available menu commands" is set to ALL. I definitely do NOT want to give most users access to All Menu Commands. The privilege set does allow printing, and I have coded scripts that do the preview and printing to "Run with All Privileges", but that does not seem to enable the icon either. Does anyone have any other ideas or experience?

Why not?

Access to commands does not necessarily mean they can *perform* them.

For instance, if you don't want to allow record deletion in a table, change the privilege set to not allow delete. FMP will disable the delete command and tool bar icon for users of this privilege set. This restriction is enforced at the record level so there is no way the record can be deleted with that privilege set. Unlike "security" applied through interface, which can easily be defeated through an interface file.
