I have a script that exports two layouts to pdf and appends them to an attached email. It works perfect on my Mac, but only shows the last pdf I am trying to append on the ipad.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
I am currently using a TemporaryPath variable which works fine on the mac.
Script can be found here http://www.coquet.com.au/wp-content/Filemaker.png
Really need help!
The append option is not supported on Go.
Per the FileMaker 12 Go Development Guide...
Some Save Records as PDF script step options aren’t supported:
- appending records to an existing PDF
- selecting the Acrobat version
- selecting Printing and Editing options on the Security tab

Trying to open an attachment with this url and it doesn't work. Any idea why?

Thanks for any ideas
The attachment was originally created on the web and was an embedded object. I then wrote code to move it to a Rich Text Field and that didn't help. The error I get is

This is from a note that I pulled together for HCL some time ago listing the issues we had with Domino 11 having upgraded from 9. This might help although it is not clear what version you are on.
Broken Download links for LZ1 compressed attachments. - CS0313452
After upgrading to FP5 customers found that they could not download some attachments.
We were able to reproduce this issue 100% and provided HCL with a database.

+SPR# GRHEBVYNW7 - Server - DAOS - Fixed an issue where after upgrading to 11.x,
running dbmt -c on DAOS enabled databases results in duplicate DAOS objects being stored.
This regression was introduced in 11.0.
The URL syntax affected is the old style https://<>//<>/<database.nsf>>/<>/$FILE/<>.jpg
whereas the newer “XPage”style syntax works fine
We modified our applications to use the XPages style syntax as a good work around.
This is the XPages url style

Your use of /0/(Attach)/0 looks wrong. Try this format instead: http://host/Database/View/Document/$File/Filename?OpenElement (source: https://help.hcltechsw.com/dom_designer/9.0.1/appdev/H_ABOUT_URL_COMMANDS_FOR_OPENING_IMAGE_FILES_ATTACHMENTS_AND_OLE_OBJECTS.html)
So in your case:

I am writing a Program in Rub On Rails 4.x and I have to take PDF files with defined fields that can be filled out, fill in data from a form submission(This part is DONE!), and lastly allow the user to modify the saved PDF file on the server and overwrite said PDF after making their modifications.
Like I said I have already gotten the PDF files filled out with what has been submitted in the form through pdftk . What I now need to do is provide a server side editing capability to the said PDF files on server generated from the first step of the process.
I have seen similar posts but none wanting to do the same thing I do. If I am wrong links would be great. Thanks in advance for all your help!
After lots of digging and research here is what I have found to be the facts surrounding this issue and implementing a program to allow embedding the PDF file, editing it, and saving it back to the server. This process would be great however from what I can tell there is nothing out there that really does this for Ruby On Rails. To quote #Nick Veys
Seems like you need to find a Javascript PDF editor you can load your PDF into, allow the user to modify it, and ultimately submit it back to the server. Seems like they exist, here's one for ASP projects
You are correct but still wrong in the sense that yes there is one for ASP projects however that is Microsoft Based, yes I know that it can run on Linux environments through Mono. However to the point it would appear in this instance that a Ruby On Rails specific solution is indeed needed.
The solution that we have come up with is as follows
1. Use a PDF editing package in the linux repositories like PDFtk
2. You then render a page with the PDF embeded on one side and a form representing the live fields in the PDF to take input.
3. Once submitted you use PDFtk to write the values into a new template PDF file and overwrite what was previously stored.
This requires a few additional steps to process the data than I really care for myself. However it is the best solution that our team could come up with, without bleeding the project budget dry for just 1 piece of functionality.
I hope this helps anyone else looking to do the same thing in Ruby On Rails.
I have done something like this using my company's .NET product. It can also be done using its Java version too.

I have an interactive PDF, a catalog, where you have to click on a image to go to a specific page. All images are converted in buttons with the option "Go to destination". On Windows and Mac it works perfectly. But on iPad all the links, all the images, are not showing.
I've already read on many forums about this common problem between iOs and interactive PDF's. But I have some old PDF's, with the same principle, and those are working great on iPad. The images are showed, the links works...
That's why I'm wondering if it's not my fault or maybe I export the PDF in a wrong way.
The links to the PDF's.

"Buttons" are not compatible with most pdf readers (except Acrobat reader and a few others). Such buttons are not recognized on the standard pdf reader on the iPad. I have checked the old file on the iPad, it does not work as well.
What you need to do is to use regular pdf links instead of buttons. In order to do so, you can use Acrobat Pro, delete your buttons, and create new links using the chain icon. You can specify the area of the link, so the user experience will be the same.
This is an old issue, but I did find more information regarding this. (I'd add a comment to the accepted answer, but alas, i do not have 50 points.)
According to George Johnson, "The problem with InDesign is in using the Go To Next/Previous Page options in InDesign[buttons], it creates an Execute a Menu Item action when exported to PDF, and since Reader for iOS doesn’t have menu items or interprets such actions otherwise, they are just ignored." - https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1142056?tstart=0
As for work arounds, I found a tutorial by Steve Werner, outlining the method of changing your work flow around, and adding your buttons in Adobe Acrobat instead, as kind of a post production linking process. - http://indesignsecrets.com/navigation-button-tricks-for-interactive-pdf-on-an-ipad.php
PDF Expert is an iPhone application that enables user to fill the editable PDF and can save it. means It is editable form.
I used UIWebView to show the PDF, It showing exactly as it is, but the text field on it is un-editable.
I tried using the UIDocumentInteractionControllerto view the pdf, It showing well, but I can't edit on that file.
In safari browser of mac It supports only viewing the file, but Google Chrome supports editing of the file. and While opening the file using Preview application on mac, It allows edition to the user and can save it.
Please suggest me, How to edit and save the file in this..
Thank you...
I was after the same thing and found this to be a seemingly good solution: https://github.com/derekblair/ILPDFKit
Lets you fill in a form, access/set fields and then save out as a static copy.
HI Everybody,
In my application I want to access the information from different tables of the database & print that information on the default PDF template.I generally use prawn & prawn_to plug-in for normal PDF generation & it works fine always, but this time I confused how to print the information on the default template.I am trying to do this on Redmine application & scenario is like this I have developed four different plugins & trying to access these plugins data on fifth plug-in.If any body have any idea will save my day.
Thanks always
Perhaps this gem can help you out: https://github.com/joseicosta/odf-report
It works great for generating odf reports using templates, and they can easily be converted into pdf
