Easy way to scale image size in a container field?

Featured Replies

I add 10-15 photos in each record, and then I print a "Flyer" as a PDF and send it to clients. The problem is, the photos i'm given are typically large, so my PDF when printed is between 1 and 2 megabytes. I was hoping there would be an easier way to scale down the images, rather than doing it manually. One the flyer, they are roughly 1 inch square, I put up to 15 on a page.

Any ideas? Thanks!!!

How do you add the photos? If you import them from a folder, you have the option to create a thumbnail in a second container field.

If that's not an option, you'll need to turn outside Filemaker (i.e. a plugin or OS-level scripting).

I store the file in a folder on the server, and then Insert It as a photo. Can you tell me how to store it as a thumbnail? I can't seem to figure it out... Thank you!

it's available only when you import a folder:
