If spaces, slashes (/), or any other special characters are needed in a URL, be sure to replace them with the appropriate percent-encoded values required for valid URLs. See Setting permitted hosts and plug-ins preferences. To allow hosted apps to be opened using a claris or fmp URL, the user must click Open if prompted. See Editing extended privileges for a privilege set. To allow a URL to run a script, the user’s account must have the fmurlscript extended privilege enabled. You can also append additional URL parameters shown above. Optional parameters are indicated by braces ( filename The complete format of the URL is shown below. When the client software is installed, URL schemes are registered with the operating system so that URLs using these schemes are handled by the client. Note: We tested this using FileMaker Pro 13 Advanced with Mac OS X 10.8.5, FileMaker Pro 13 Advanced with Windows Server 2008 R2, and FileMaker Go 13.0.5 with iOS 7.1.2.With a URL, you can start a client and open a shared or local file or run a script in a file.

But this method doesn’t seem to work in FileMaker Go. Note, in FileMaker Pro, you can also delete a file using the Export Field Contents step if you specify the file name and path but don’t specify a field. If we run the Export Records script step, making sure to empty out the found set first, the file will be deleted. We have no “Delete File” script step but do have a workaround. However, now we need to delete the file after inserted into the container field. But because this doesn’t seem to work properly in FileMaker Go, we must use the Documents path. We would like to use the temporary path to store the PDF file, because then it would automatically be deleted once FileMaker closes. We list the PDF files below the FileMaker files, so you may need to scroll down first. If you have an fmp12 file currently open, you will need to go to your Home view first (tap the icon in the upper-left) and then select “Device” on the left side. By the way, when using FileMaker Go, you can see the PDFs that are in the Get(DocumentsPath) location, if there are any there at all, by selecting “Device” from the left side of the screen.
