Scribe plugin - runtime - save as pdf

Hello all,

 

Can anybody please advise whether the scribe plugin can create a pdf on a runtime just as you would with the 'save as pdf' function on a pro version of filemaker? 

 

regards,

HJ

Hello,

 

The Scribe plugin can read and write from an already existing PDF file, but it cannot create PDF files from scratch. So you could have a PDF file in a container field in the runtime, and Scribe could write data from FileMaker records to the PDF file. But it could never create a PDF file on its own.

You can write the functionality you need with ScriptMaster from these lovely 360works people and the iText library.

To be fair it's not trivial but is very powerful and from experience works a treat on the server. And we have the experience.
