sparling Posted July 11, 2001 Share Posted July 11, 2001 Anyone know of a acrobat (pdf) exporter for filemaker? I guess really what I need is a way to import a filemaker report into acrobat. Anyone done such a thing? LS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Posted July 11, 2001 Share Posted July 11, 2001 If you have Acrobat (not Acrobat reader) it comes with a printer driver to create PDF documents from any application simply by printing it. If you don't have the full Acrobat, then there is PrintToPDF for Mac that can do the same thing, and I believe that there is a similar freeware utility for Windows.

SteveB Posted July 11, 2001 Share Posted July 11, 2001 I'm in the process of doing a user manual and wanted reports in the manual. I captured the reports with a screen capture program called Snagit, saved the output as a JPG and read the result into a text box in MS Word. After the manual was complete, I ran in into Acobat Distiller to create the PDF. The results were poor...pixilated but usable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiveOak Posted July 11, 2001 Share Posted July 11, 2001 There is a shareware pdf print driver for the mac (you used the mac icon on the original post) called PrintToPDF, available at www.jwwalker.com. It's not as full featured as Acrobat, but works quite well. -bd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Expression836 Posted July 13, 2001 Share Posted July 13, 2001 Here is a problem that I am experiencing with Acrobat with FMP. Any jpeg's on the screen do not come out in the written PDF file. I am using Acrobat 4.05a and all other applications work fine with any kind of graphic, but FMP 4.1, 5, and 5.5 will not work from my Mac (G3/MacOS9.1) but work fine with my PC's. The shareware PDF writer that has been suggested works without fail! EXCELLENT! (...but you would figure that the $218 (US) solution (Adobe) would actually the THE solution) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadowfax Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 I realize that this is an old thread, but I wanted to point this out to anyone in the future who's curious. There is a program out there called CutePDF that allows you to 'print' anything to PDF format. And best of all, it's completely free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
After Hours Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 On the Macintosh, creating PDFs is built into the standard print dialog box. It's part of the OS with no copy of Acrobat or a third-party tool required. Link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Baumbach Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 We have used both Cute PDF (mentioned above) and PDF995. (http://www.pdf995.com) PDF995 comes as either a free (sponsored, highly annoying) version, or $10 version without the ads. I've used PDF995 extensively for CAD work, but haven't tried it with Filemaker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjaeger Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 or use PDFCreator (sourceforge.net), that's free AND excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
