I'm designing a database meant to be used exclusively by employees in the field, on their iPads. They'll fill out forms, get customer signatures, print the forms, and email the pdfs back to our document control. There's a form which, by virtue of the data entered on it, can be multiple pages long (I've formatted it so the text fields slide up and resize the enclosing part). All the completed forms we generate have to have "Page X of Y" in the footer.

I can't figure out how to get the total page count in FileMaker Go, since "Enter Preview Mode" as suggested here isn't a valid script step for iOS.

I'd really appreciate any guidance you can give me.

I would use something like 360 works remote scripting plugin... i quote their web site...

 

"Creating a PDF in IWP Tutorial Video

This video tutorial looks in depth at the functions and scripts behind making a PDF from a browser in IWP and FileMaker Pro using RemoteScripter. This works around incompatible script steps in Instant Web Publishing and allows a user to generate and save a PDF report right from their browser"

 

hope that helps...
