Title: Re: Print to pdf in FileMaker
On 22.10.2007 17:36, "Richard Rönnbäck" <email@hidden> spake thus:
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.

Okay, I think I get the point. How do I insert the variable as the name of the file in the “save record as PDF” part of the script ? I have tried specifying with and without the “$” symbol as the filename .pdf, but it doesn’t seem to work. Does it need to be escaped in some way so I don’t end up with a $Nr.pdf file (I have) ?
Thanks in advance,
j.
