The iPhone and iPad do not support printing on FileMaker Go. There is no Preview Mode on FileMaker Go.
So its clear that we can’t go to the preview mode and view/print the report in preview mode
Can we view our reports in iPhone —Yes here you have to think out of box. We can show our report page in browse mode. As after sorting and summarizing the records the preview mode and browse mode looks similar with very little difference (one difference is header and title-header section).
You can add script in your custom menu which will run a report script. There are 2 ways that you can do with reports i)Save as PDF
ii)Send Mail with attached PDF
i) For Save As PDF option We can save the report as pdf in iPhone it will give you 4 options as “Email”,”View”,”Save”,”Cancel”.
Note: If you will press “Save” it will save a pdf file in FMGO>Open File Browser>Files on Device. For mode detail check the link
