"DocumentFileExtension" in Autosave

Hi

I’m missing a token for Autosave like . I want to create from
- test.doc a “test_doc.pdf” and
- test.xls a "test_xls.pdf"

Without using the extension I have a problem with overwriting, and numbering or time-tokens are not a solution in that case.

Regards

Peter

Hi,

there is a hidden setting called RemoveAllKnownFileExtensions
http://www.pdfforge.org/content/hidden-settings

As soon as you disable it, the extensions will be included in the filename.(if using the token)

Oh, oh - now I see …

Yesterday I tried it already - and failed: Extensions kept alive.

Now I searched the Registry - and found that RemoveAllKnownFileExtensions exist in “Program” and in each of the profiles.

Now I set the value in all profiles to 0 - it still removes the extension (e.g. PNG). I printed to some other printers - the all have the extension, but PDFCreator not

Version: 1.6.2, Win XP Prof

How can I control this property using the com-interface?

I am currently trying to set the AutosaveFilename to something like “blabla.doc.pdf”, but PDFCreator changes this to “blabla.pdf”.

Hi,

sorry this seems to be a bit buggy at the moment.
A workaround is not having the extension at the end of the filename, in this case it doesn´t get deleted.

regards,

Robin
