     Richard Malmsten:



     Thank you for the post.



     According to page 12 of the FileMaker Go 12 Development Guide, "Some Save Records as PDF script step options aren’t supported" (see screenshot below).



     The full guide can be found at the following URL:



http://www.filemaker.com/support/product/docs/12/filemaker-go/fmgo_development.pdf



     This is also documented on page 14 of FileMaker Go Tech Brief located at the following URL:

     I have the same trouble as Richard Malmsten . If I append an existing pdf file, last one overwrites the first one.

     if anybody knows if it runs or not under iOS, please let me know.



     thanks.

Joan Subirós:

     Thank you for the post.



     I am able to append an existing PDF file with new records, using FileMaker Pro 12.0v4 (Advanced) and either overwrite the existing PDF or create a new one.



     Is the goal to create an additional PDF with appended records, or to overwrite the original PDF with both old and new records? The process can be scripted for either method.

     Hi Joan,

     Sorry but as confirmed by TSFalcon on his previous post this option is not supported on iOS.

     This is fully documented.

     Courage, Fred
