File name truncated to 27 characters

Hi

I know this has sort of been mentioned before but is there a fix planned for this as "4862959s.prn" is being renamed to "Microsoft Word Viewer - 486.pdf" or is there a way to add custom values to strip in the <smarttitle> macro as this would also solve my problem.

Thanks in Advance

Where does the "4862959s.prn" come from? There should not be a 27 char limit in the printer.

Regards,
Jacob

Hi,
the 4862959s.prn is just the filename of the document I am printing. It is just everything that is printed that uses one of the title macros the overall filename gets truncated and because I am using "Microsoft Word Viewer" to print that takes 21 characters of the pdf filename so only the first 3 characters of the origianl filename are used.. Here is a link to another post where somebody has had the same problem http://www.bullzip.com/phpBB/viewtopic. ... itle#p7668

Hi,
any chnace of an update on this problem... I have done some more testing and have found it will allow an output filename of greater than 27 characters but any part of the filename that uses <docname> <basedocname> <title> or <smarttitle> is truncated to 27 characters.

here is an example

Printing README.doc using Microsoft Word Viewer

Bullzip filename format is set to: <personal>\<date><time><docname>.pdf

Ends up with a file in "My Documents" with the following name

09-06-0115.56.10Microsoft Word Viewer - REA.pdf

I would be happy to use a custom macro to do this myself but have been unsuccesful when trying as I don't know how to get the initial name of the file e.g. README.doc or even Microsoft Word Viewer - README.doc.

Is there anything you can do to help.

Thanks...

I'm thinking about it now...I tried it and yes the problem is still there.. Still thinking on how to fix this...

Hi I have let a few versions go by and the problem still seems to exist.... Is there any chance you might be able to fix it because it would be very useful to me if you could. I have seen than somebody else has logged the same problem when trying to print webpages.

Thanks

I've seen there is a newer version you have released I'm going to give that a try.
