Comment on Automate PDF Printing from FileMaker by obydesign

I’m having the same problems as fribble. When i try to print it says the PDF could not be opened because i do not have the permissions to access it. I am running lion as well. Where exactly in the script are the steps that quit preview from running between printing? Any help would be very appreciated as i need this functionality!

Hmmmm. It should not matter who uploaded it to the FileMaker Container field. By exporting the container the exported files should have the permissions of user who exported the file.

Is this the case?

The reason it didn’t print was because I hadn’t been the person to upload the pdf, so I didn’t have permission to export it. Otherwise it’s a nice routine.

We haven’t seen that, but in Lion, you can skip the script steps that quit Preview from running between printing.

you may have solved this already but it’s easy: just download a free barcode font (free3of9), enclose your barcode text in * (one each end) and print that, formatted with your barcode font, to the dymo. I do this a lot, no problem

The code doesn’t work on my Mac running Lion. It says I don’t have permissions to access the saved file even though I have admin rights. You would be better to write the file to the desktop

Andrew,

Great idea! This is actually the first time we’ve encountered this issue but I’m sure it’s not the last so I’m going to incorporate your snippet into our in-house framework!

Thanks Again,
David

If you’re not sure what version of PHP you will be using in development and production environments you can also check for the version of PHP and branch accordingly. I do something along these lines:

if (version_compare(PHP_VERSION, ’5.3.0′) >= 0) {
error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE & ~E_DEPRECATED);
} else {
error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);
}

That way I don’t have to worry about whether they have PHP 5.3 or later.

Cheers,
Andrew

Comment on QC Signature Capture by Hal Gumbert

Not at this time. I tried several methods using the Google Frame. Problem is that FileMaker uses Internet Explorer for the Web Viewer on Windows and Safari on Mac. Since Internet Explorer doesn’t follow web standards, it fails. I wish that either Internet Explorer would update itself to use the new standards that the Web Viewer could use or FileMaker would let you choose to use either IE or Safari on Windows…

Hi Hal,
Did you get this to work with Windows? If not, do you know what the issue is? I’m working on a solution for electronically signing waivers for a Ski School. The check-in stations are PCs. I’m also looking for signature pad recommendations.
Thanks,
Matt
