Clearing default print as PDF name

Featured Replies

A small thing, but slightly annoying. Everytime I go to a layout and choose print and then from that dialog choose pdf it comes up with a default filename for that pdf. It's slightly annoying because I sometimes have clients over me watching and it's not good to see some other projects name pop up.

Any thoughts?

Unfortunately, there's not much you can do about this (see also here), other than recreate the file from scratch.

FM8 introduces SCRIPT VARIABLES, which you can use to drive the file name by calculations etc., thereby overcoming the default file name problem.

Get an upgrade?

Thanks for the help. Must be some kind of bug.
