#1067 — FileMaker print name

With Mac OS X, where does Filemaker take the name that appears when I do
a print and then i choose to save the file as PDF or show it in Apple
Preview? Can't find it out anymore...

If you generate the PDF from the Print dialog box, you will have the 
opportunity to name the file when you assign the Save location. 
Otherwise I think it just takes the name of the FileMaker file by 
default.

If you use the script step "Save Records as PDF" you can specify the 
output file path including the name in the script step.

Yes, I know. But it proposes a name

and that name isn't filename, isn't window name, and isn't format
name... I'm sure I give it the name, some time ago, but now I can't find
how...

Maybe the name you used last time?

Maybe your're running a script? Try debug.

No too. I'm speaking about a simple command+P, after that, I save as PDF
or open it in Preview, and the file has a name that is the old name of
my project, but now I didn't use it in any know place (file, forms,
scripts, etc...).

IIRC it is a known limitation that this print name does not change when
renaming the database file.

OK, this justifies my problem. I'll try the propused solution at the
first opportunity.
