Cropped file name for PDF and Word output

Post by RonenSigan »

Hi.
I defined the target file name as
Generic FD - Product (U.S.)
The name in the output appears as
Generic FD - Product (U.S.

Does anyone know how to fix this cropping of file name?

Thanks

And for Word output append: .DOCX

Possibly technically it's a bug, but I think if you are customising the file name, you should be adding the extension you want anyway. I suspect the algorithm is looking for full stops in an effort to see if you have an extension or not.
