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.

I am sure that AS can handle your needs, but in addition there are
many third party plugins that can be used. We currently print the
file to the desktop with the database name. We use a file
manipulation plugin that will take the pdf and change it to the
current record name and pdf extension. We use this setup with a
nightly script that will email our customers with pdfs. 30 to 40
pdfs per night get sent to different customers.
