Title: Re: Print to pdf in FileMaker
You dont't print. FileMaker has built-in PDF library, which is about a thousand times faster than printing to PDF.

What you do is that you do a FileMaker script (not AS) that has two steps, first you assign the cell value to a FileMaker Variable, then you just chose the Export records as PDF step, using your variablename as your filename.

At export FileMaker will then use the cell value stored in your variable as your file name.

Ämne: Print to pdf in FileMaker


Hi all,

I have been dabbling a bit with one of the latest Filemaker versions (8.5) and I’m trying to print a record to pdf.

I know Filemaker allows to do that using their inbuilt scriptmaker, but how can I get the name of the resulting pdf file to match the name of a cellvalue (i.e. the record number) without using AS ?

Looking at it from the AS perspective, it seems the print command is fairly poor for FM, as is the save one.

Any ideas, AS/FM gurus ?

Thanks a ton in advance,

j.
