Hi!

Is it possible to give/set pdf file name by our self? Now it is generating file with file name which is too long.
I didn’t find any settings to set it in the pdf application type.

Thanks!

Re: PDF filename

:smiley: Yes, its possible to rename before saving it as you said. I said the same to my client but he wouldn’t go for it :).

The feature would be good addition.

Let’s wait and see.

Re: PDF filename

The solution we found for this is to use the sc_pdf_output() Macro.

Just definde a filename, which is passed to the report application as parameter, then in Code use

sc_pdf_output([myFilename],"F")

to save the document to the server or

sc_pdf_output([myFilename],"D")

to download a named file.

Hi People
i try to use sc_pdf_output([myFilename],“D”)

but it doesn’t work.

the way i found to change the Filename in run-time
is:

$this->nm_path_pdf = ‘name.pdf’;

any suggestion about how to work with sc_pdf_output

i’am using ScripCase 6.00.0039

Is there someone who managed to get it working?

Tried to set the sc_pdf_output($Name.".pdf",“D”); makro in PDF Report -> Layout PDF -> Code.

  1. It taked a really long time to generate.
  2. The filename is set, but it is set only to a part of $Name and the “.pdf” is lost .
  3. The generated pdf is missing the details section.

What I am looking for is a way to set the name of the file, even it is saved, mailed or only shown in the browser in the normal PDF Report -> Events section.

Also tried the suggested solution: $this->nm_path_pdf = ‘name.pdf’;
Has no effect …

Someone having ideas???

Coming back to this topic, I can say, I managed to change the name of the file which is saved on the server.
sc_pdf_output([Name].".pdf",“F”); makro in PDF Report -> Layout PDF -> Code is renaming the file

Sounds nice, but now the file which is generated is corrupt and unreadable …

Anyone having the same problem or an idea for a solution?

P.S. do not know what the problem was, I renewed the pdf-layout part, and it is working now …

Hi! I’m reading this post.
Can you please explain where I must write that macro?
[myFilename] is a variable?
I’m stopped with this issue, and found this thread. Can you please help me?
Thanks in advance.

based on context (I didn’t readed the thread), onApplicationInit is where macro should be writed.
Yes [variable] are “globals” variables.
