Hello all...

We have created a composite report and used the SaveAs NativePDF! method.

What we noticed in the PDF Document Properties is that the Title is DataWindow.

Does anyone know if we can change that at the time we do the SaveAs?

Hi Erick,

it seems that Powerbuilder uses the title that you set for "Document Name" in "Print Specifications" tab.

HTH,

René

Thanks Rene.

Currently that field is empty, but I will try and populate it with something and see if there is an impact.

Yes, if it is empty the title was set to "DataWindow" in my test.

Thank you Rene... this worked.

By populating the Document Name, that is what appears in Adobe.

Hi Erick,

 

I suggest you can work it around by setting the “Document Name” property of datawindow with space, then it will appear blank title for the PD, for example:

dw_1.Object.DataWindow.Print.documentname =" "

And I also suggest you report it as a bug to our ticket system:https://www.appeon.com/standardsupport/newbug so it can be properly received and tracked.

 

Regards,

What was the fix? What is the default value now?



You can also change that property in script:



lds_categories.Modify("DataWindow.Print.DocumentName='Categories'")

Hi Roland,



Using the NativePDF method in the new version, if the property value content of DataWindow.Print.DocumentName is null, then the title of the exported PDF file will be null as well and there won't be a Datawindow default value as it did previously.



If you have set this property, then it still follows the previous logic that the exported PDF file will have a corresponding value as its title.
