Can Applescript be used to script FileMaker's Print script command to open in Preview? Here's the deal: A user saved PDFs in containers (not by reference) and now can't open them. Export Field Contents doesn't work in this case. This seems to be a FileMaker limitation for hosted files.
I came up with a way for them to view the PDFs the PDFs by printing the container with the option to open in Preview. But, there's a gotcha (sin't there alway?). FileMaker has a Print script command, but it doesn't allow you to select one of the option (i.e., Open PDF in Preview).
So, I'd like to know if there is an AppleScript way to script this so they could automatically open the container in Preview without having to select that option manually?
Thanks,
Jon _______________________________________________
