Printing Adobe Acrobat (*.PDF) files from FileMaker Pro (Win) Any PDF file can be printed from within FileMaker Pro as long as the full pathname is present in a text field in the following syntax: file://c:/folder/subfolder/filename.pdf e.g. file://c:/my documents/letters/letter_1.pdf You also need a 2 line script: Open URL [file://c:/folder/subfolder/filename.pdf] Send Message ["pdfprint.exe", "aevt", "odoc"]The file 'pdfprint.exe" (50 K) is a compiled version of an AutoIt macro "pdfprint.aut" (the filenames are arbitrarily chosen). AutoIt is a freeware macro program for Windows. The textfile "pdfprint.aut" goes as follows (case sensitive!): WinWait, Acrobat Reader -
WinActivate, Acrobat Reader -
