Hi Sue,
I accomplish this by first setting a variable ("$file_name"), with the
following:
Case ( Abs ( Get ( SystemPlatform ) ) = 1 ; "filemac:" ; "filewin:" ) &
Get ( DesktopPath ) & your_file_name_calculated_from_record_data
Then I just use that "$file_name" variable as the "Output File Path
List" in the "Specify output file" setting of both the initial "Save
Records as PDF" step and any subsequent "Save Records as PDF" steps
when I want to "Append to existing PDF".

Hi Folks,
I have written some scripts that have a "Save Records as PDF" step
and subsequent steps that also have the "Save Records as PDF" with
the "Append to existing pdf" option selected.
I am able to use the script if I set the Specify Output File to a
specific file name on a specific computer, but I need multiple users
(using the file via Filemaker Server) to be able to use the script
and have the generated pdf saved to the desktops on their own
computers, and have the "append to existing pdf" steps then save to
the file that was created on their computer.
I suspect there is a way to do this without individually identifying
all their computers as options in the Specify Output File.
Can anyone tell me how to accomplish this, or refer me to a web page
that explains how to do this?
Thanks very much for any help!
Sue
