New Features

• Server Schedules & Perform Script on Server (PSOS): Save Records as PDF is fully supported with server side schedules and perform script on server.

• WebDirect: Both Print and Save Records as PDF script steps are supported. Print first open a View as PDF dialog, then it will open a new window or tab. Save Records as PDF will download the PDF directly to the users download folder.

Important Notes

There are a few features that are not yet supported on FileMaker Server when it comes to print forms and a few settings that need to be handled. Here are some points that you will want to keep in mind:

• Fonts: You will need to ensure that any fonts that your print forms use are also installed on the FileMaker Server machine.

• WebDirect Popups: The Print script step for WebDirect is a popup, so you will want to ensure that your users enable popups for your database.

• WebDirect Menu: View as PDF is the only PDF option accessible from the WebDirect drop down menu.

• Server Schedules & PSOS: The print script step is not supported with server side schedules and perform script on server.

• Custom Web Publishing: FileMaker Server CWP will NOT be able to create PDFs, even when running a script using the PHP API. To learn more, read our article on how to create a PDF via PHP on FileMaker Server.
