Hi There,

See if this can help (mac os x and linux platforms only - just sticked out of one of my 24/7 rev apps witch take an html block as input and convert/save it as pdf) :

   put HTML_output into url ("file:" & HTML_to_save_path)
get shell("/System/Library/Printers/Libraries/convert -f " && HTML_to_save_path && "-o" && PDF_to_save_path && "-j application/pdf")

Some doc there :

http://www.geekology.co.za/blog/2009/02/bulk-convert-html-rtf-to-pdf-using-mac-os-x-command-line-or-an-applescript/

or Googled it with :

System/Library/Printers/Libraries/convert

for the details

Best,

Pierre

Hi Richmond,

I tried this before and found the following script in one of my files:
---

*put* fld "name" into tName

*put* tName into url ("file:"&specialFolderPath("Desktop")&"/ test.pdf")

---


This generates a PDF file on the desktop (OSX) and gets a Preview Icon.

But when opening the file it gives an error. Probably there is still
something missing.


Greetings,


William

Richmond,

if I put this into a button
on mouseUp
  revprintfield ("Field"&&  1)
end mouseUp
it starts a little dialog that looks unfamiliar but if I OK it then I get the usual printer dialog. If I then choose preview as output I get a PDF
in
preview. And I can save to a pdf-file in the usual manner.
Mind you field 1 is a scrolling field with about 1 page worth of text of which only the 5 first lines are visible on the card. Everything is in the
pdf. This is on MacOSX 10.5.8, Rev 4.0.0
regards
Bernd



Thanks BNig,

However, I was trying to find a way, in Mac OS X, to print directly from
a field to a PDF file.
