Apologies if this has been asked before, but it's hard enough to describe this issue, let alone search the forum for it.

On Macs it's possible, when printing, to easily make a PDF out of any document by hitting the 'Preview' button. This fires up the Mac OS X Preview application, which shows how the document would print, as a PDF. You can hit 'print', but you can also save this PDF.

Where does FM store the default file name for that PDF? And how can I change it? It's not the database file name, nor the current window title.

In my case this becomes a problem as it's showing something like 'database first test' which is what the file and its then only table was first called, before I started building it up. A little embarrassing if this keeps cropping up...

It's a known issue:

Warning: although in theory, recovering an undamaged file should bear no ill consequences, I'd be very reluctant to do such thing.

Ah, very good, I'll try the printing from Windows workaround then.

Thanks.
