PDF-XChange 4.0.0 Build 0148 File Tile Oddity

[Don Schmidt]

When "printing" Lotus programs with PDF-XChange, the file name are preceeded by "Word Pro - " on Word Pro files and "1-2-3 - " on Lotus 1-2-3 files.

I have verified in the Printer Save preferences, the Save as dialog is %[DocName]

Lotus 1-2-3 and Lotus Word Pro sample and PDF files are attached - Oddity.zip

Simple solution for now: into the folder pdfSaver which is located into installation folder of PDF-XChange, there is file titrules.js.

Open it using simple text editor (notepad.exe for example) and replace docname = like_DefaultApp(jobname); with docname = like_WINWORD(jobname); into the following text:

Code: Select all

// ------------	
	default:				// Any other application
		if (jobName == "")
			jobName = event.appName;
		docName = like_DefaultApp(jobName);
	}

P.S. Please make backup of original .js file before modification it.

That fixed it. Many thanks.

can you say me executable names for Lotus 1-2-3, and for Word Pro -- I will add their handling into titrules.js file.

[Don Schmidt]

Forgive my ignorance but what would be the executable name? The file extensions? .123 and .lwp <-- That is the letter l not a one.

Hi Don,

no - this would be the 'exe' name for starting these applications

for example it might be Lotus123.exe

thanks

[Don Schmidt]

I should have figured that out

For Lotus 1-2-3 the executable is 123w.exe (Lotus for Windows)

For Lotus Word Pro the executable is wordpro.exe

Thanks Don,

this will added in the next release.

Update on the Lotus 1-2-3 and Word Pro file titles when saving a pdf file.

Original problem was PDF-XChange was giving the application name prior to the new pdf name, i.e., test.123 and test.lwp would be saved as 1-2-3 - test.pdf and lwp - test.pdf.

Current version of PDF-XChange now correctly saves the Word Pro files but continues to prefix the Lotus 1-2-3 files with 1-2-3 - .

I've done a fix to the PDF-XChange, pdSaver/titrules.js file.


From the titrules.js file

case "ACAD.EXE":
case "ACADLT.EXE":
docName = like_ACad(jobName);
break;
case "123W.exe": <==================================Changed to EXE (uppercase)
case "WORDPRO.EXE":
docName = like_WINWORD(jobName);
break;
// ------------
default: // Any other application
if (jobName == "")
jobName = event.appName;
docName = like_DefaultApp(jobName);
}
return eliminateBadChars(docName);
}

//+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Regarding my post on the exe change to uppercase:

This is in PDF-XChange 4 PRO v.4.0149
