Printing PDF's

[ConorH16]

Hey guys,

 

Is there a way to store a PDF of a contract form on my iPad and have a button with script to print that PDF from the FileMaker layout?

 

Thanks,

Conor.

Yes. You can use Export Field Contents.

 

Set Variable [$path; Value:Get (TemporaryPath) & "myFile.pdf"]

ExportFieldContents [table::containerfield; "$path" ; Automatically Open]

 

Note, FM cannot do the print part. Once open in iOS, he'll need to use iOS to print.

Would I need to store the file in my database or can I save it to FileMaker Go and have the database access it?

 

Thanks,

Conor.
