No ".pdf" extension visible

[BananaUK]

I have just successfully made a script so when i save a pdf the filename is specific to 2 fields from 'invoice' layout (job number and Company). but when the file is saved it doesn't show the ".pdf" extension. I can get the extension when i just have one field represent the filename but not both together!??

What am i missing??

here is my script:

Set variable:

Name:$filename;

Value:JobSheet::JobSheet ID& "_" &JobSheet::Company &".pdf"

Save record as PFD: my folder path+$filename

Try adding .pdf to the $filename in another calc. Reove it from your main calc.

Set Variable:

$filename = $filename & ".pdf"

Another way is this:

Finder > Preferences > Advanced > Check the box next to "Show all file extensions"

Since extensions until OS X was treated as illegitimate children, slight against the Mac discourse!
