FileMaker has detailed version 1.1 of FileMaker Go for iPhone and iPad, the apps that let users work with FileMaker Pro databases on iPhone or iPad.

The app was originally launched in July, and the firm says the updates are “significant” and include enhancements for creating PDFs, sharing databases via email, and inserting photos in databases.

You can now produce PDFs directly from FileMaker Go and either save them on their mobile devices or email them. You can also save a copy of a complete database and email it directly from FileMaker Go.

Also new is the ability for FileMaker Go users to import records from local or hosted FileMaker databases using script steps.

“FileMaker Go for iPhone and FileMaker Go for iPad have stirred up huge excitement in the FileMaker community and beyond. Initial acceptance has been strong and this is just the beginning,” said Steve McManus, Regional Manager, Asia Pacific, FileMaker, Inc. “With these free updates, we are already making both apps even more powerful and adding new ways to share information remotely.”
