Mick Staplehurst:
Thank you for your post.
I am unable to replicate the issue. This is what I have done:
1. Using FileMaker Pro 12.0v4 on Windows XP, I created a file with one table, one text field, and one record.
2. I created a script "Export PDF' with the script step "Save Records as PDF" specifying the file name "TSGal.pdf" and saving to the Desktop.
3. I execute the script, and the PDF file is created.
4. I then performed the same steps with FileMaker Pro 12.0v4 running under Windows 7.
Between the last time Save as PDF worked under FileMaker Pro 12.0v1 until the crash in FileMaker Pro 12.0v4, what other changes were made? This includes the database file and/or system related changes.
