Print as a PDF annoyance

Post by pja »

Hi!

I have a PDF printer installed (doPDF at this point in time but have used others such as PDF Creator). When I try to print an Atlantis document (say myDocument.rtf) as a PDF the resultant dialog wants to save a file called Atlantis - myDocument.pdf.

The text "Atlantis - " is appended to the front of the file name. This happens in previous PDF printer software I have used so it is either an issue with ALL PDF printers or with Atlantis.

Could someone suggest a fix or is it a bug.

Regards,
Peter

Atlantis does not name PDF files. A PDF printer does. But Atlantis does assign a name to a "print job". This name includes a hardcoded string "Atlantis - " plus a document filename. Most (if not all) PDF printers automatically use this name as a filename for the PDF file.

Any next release of Atlantis will not include "Atlantis - " in a "print job" name. The latest beta version of Atlantis already includes this change. You can upgrade your copy of Atlantis to the latest beta version through the "Help | Check for Updates..." menu command of your Atlantis.

I was annoyed by the same thing. The new beta fixes it. Thanks!
