pdf not attaching

[Tusif Ahmad]

Hi,

I have a strange type of issue. I tried a lot but sorry could not be able to solve.

I have Filemaker Server 14 Running on mac environment. Also I have users running Filemaker Pro 14 and I am running Filemaker Pro Advanced. I am written a script to send email with invoice attached. Script works fine on my computer with FMPA but when user are running, it is not attaching pdf.
I tried saving file with get(DocumentPath), get(TemporaryPath), GetCurrentDirectory custom function etc. I think I tried all ways but sorry could not be able to resolve this issue. Can you please guide me what the wrong I am doing.

Hey Tusif,

 Please use the default font when copy and pasting from another application.

Also, adjust the line spacing in your code so that it isn’t three lines between. 

TIA

Hi Tusif

This is a known bug in OS X 10.11 (El Capitan) with FileMaker 14 where the files do not attach to the email if you choose 'Perform without dialog'.

If you un-select that option, they work fine and the PDF will attach, but the user has to click the 'Send' button in OS X Mail.

It is fine in OS 10.10. I've never found a satisfactory workaround that doesn't force the user to interact with the email. I was told by someone in FileMaker UK that it is not something FileMaker can fix, it needs to be fixed by Apple.
