Change file name based on printed content

PDFCreator PDFCreator English

Hello,


I was wondering if it is possible to name the PDF file based on some of the text that is being printed. I am using a DOS based travel booking program that sends all the print jobs to Galileo Print Manager. From there it prints off to 3 DOT Matrix printers (the ones we want to get rid of). Each print job has an Invoice # or Ticket # in it, and I was wondering if there is a way to use that as the file name when saving.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

if you can extract the ticket# and use it as the title for the printjob, then you can use the token in PDFCreator.

Yes, that is exactly what I want to do. Does PDF Creator have the ability to extract that information? or is that something I have to figure out with the other software I am using?


Thanks for the response.

Hi,

PDFCreator will take the complete title, it has no ability to extract certain parts of the title.
Other tokens you can use are listed here: http://www.pdfforge.org/content/auto-save-mode.
You can use any custom script on actions before/after saving.
You will most likely have to configure the printing application or write a custom script.

Robin
