The Exporter plug-in allows the developer to export pictures, sounds, movies, and text stored in FileMaker fields as documents in their native file formats. Types supported are GIF, JPEG, PICT, BMP, sound, movie, text, and styled text (Mac only).

Exporter handles any image or media type when stored by reference. In addition to exporting to a file, Exporter can convert any of the above image types to JPEG with user specified parameters for size, bit depth, and quality. (When stored by reference, many additional types, such as TIF, WMF, and DRW can be converted.) Using this function, you can make thumbnails suitable for web pages, or convert FileMaker report previews to JPEG format for email.

Also provided is a function that returns detailed information about an image. Exporter provides many flexible options for selecting the destination folder, including manual selection. File utilities allow deletion and renaming of exported files. All file operations are server aware and optimized for speed. Exporter works for both Mac and Windows, and with all versions of FileMaker Pro. The image conversion functions require QuickTime to be installed.
