Qlikview report name when saving

[Anonymous]

Hi

I have created a qvw application in which I have created a qlikview report with a title in the header.

When the user access this document in ajax, the user will have the option of either to print it out or to save the document as a pdf document. But when the user want to save the report, it is generating a random name for the file, like Temp_e23817Cx234850CG etc.

Can we change this name to what we wish, like TableName_YYYYMMDD.pdf etc?

Hi

What PDF printer do you have installed as often this name relies on the PDF printer?

It is PDF-XChange 3.0

we can give the ur report name and date its in report-->reportsetting-->header/footer

That will give the report name on the report while printing. But if the user want to save the report as a pdf, it is generating random name for the pdf. I want to know where can i change that name?

Please see screenshot below. Click on the report in access point, then select Properties, choose the file name you want. Then I normally change Save Options to "Show Save As...' Dialog". After you click Ok, click Save Settings on the Print menu too.

Hi Bryon,

I have tried the setup you shared here but unfortunately it only worked for the first time even though I have clicked 'Save Settings'. Tried many times still can't save the setting. Any idea?

Your help will be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Olivia
