#1. NEW VIDEO: Combining PDFs - The Blazing Fast Method
------------------------------
Using PDFs is easy! Working with PDFs, as a developer, is another story. While the PDF format has been around for what seems like forever, it's still a bit of a mystery to manipulate.
Fortunately, there are code libraries and a free plug-in that makes this quite easy to accomplish. Yes, FileMaker 9 and higher does provide the ability to append to existing PDFs, but this process can be quite slow in a variety of cases.
If speed is your concern, and you need to combine multiple PDFs, static or dynamically generated, then this video and technique file will provide you with everything you need to combine PDFs from within FileMaker Pro.

#3. SEARCHFILEMAKER.COM A GREAT WAY TO SEARCH!
-------------------------------------------------------
This one is too easy! If you've got a question about FileMaker and you're looking to narrow down the scope of results to top FileMaker resources then use SearchFileMaker.com. It's easy-to-remember and easy-to-use.
Here's the cool part. It uses Google for finding things. Rather than searching the whole Internet. It allows you keep your search focused. There are a number of features, but I'll let you watch a video about that.
Find the video within the Scriptology Video Browser (see the news item just above) It's in the "FileMaker Help Resources" and is titled "Using SearchFileMaker.com". There are some great searching tips in there that help you find answers fast!
Enjoy the article!
