I have an app with all the pdf document locations as URLs but when the user emails the documents to themselves the pdf filename that gets sent is different to what is on the server and my client keeps asking if I can change this. I saw a thread from 2 years ago but it was for BT 2.0 and not sure if it is still applicable or if there is an easier way to fix this. http://www.buzztouch.com/forum/thread.php?tid=1EA51E646F89719BDE38A2B&currentPage=1

What is the original filename, and what is the filename being used by the email? Is it a 'consistent' mis-name? Something we can parse the real filename from before it gets to the email? Cheers! -- Smug

Thanks Smug for your assistance the original file name loaded on the control panel in document location is http://file location on server/documents/aliette_wg_label.pdf but instead of the user getting a file named alliette_wg_label.pdf which is the product name the user is getting a file name that looks like this: aa1edea8770e66ac667e578_screenData.pdf

Are you using this with the PDF viewer plugin? I haven't tried this, so it will require a little testing on your part. But, if we were to (only in the plugin) change the naming of the 'saveAsFilename' from 'appGuid + screenData + file extension' to the actual filename. Fingers crossed, this is how I would try it: On line 79 of my BT_screen_pdfDoc.m file is this line: [self setSaveAsFileName:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@_screenData.pdf", [self.screenData itemId]]]; pre-pend that line with this: NSString *url = [BT_strings getJsonPropertyValue:self.screenData.jsonVars nameOfProperty:@"dataURL" defaultValue:@""]; NSArray *parts = [url componentsSeparatedByString:@"/"]; NSString *myFilename = [parts lastObject]; and then change the line to something like this: [self setSaveAsFileName:myFilename]; and see how that works. Don't release this without testing first... And let me know how it goes. Cheers! -- Smug

Hi Smug I finally had a chance to test this because I'm working on new apps due for release this next week and it works PERFECTLY thanks so much. Please can you give me the same type of code for Android :) I'm using the same std pdf plugin on Android. Sherry

// add this line up top... import org.apache.commons.io.FilenameUtils; // around line 122 you have this line: saveAsFileName = this.screenData.getItemId() + "_screenData.pdf"; comment that out and add this code: String baseName = FilenameUtils.getBaseName(dataURL); String extension = FilenameUtils.getExtension(dataURL); saveAsFileName = baseName + "." + extension; Cheers! -- Smug

Thanks Smug YOU'RE THE BEST!! at first it didn't work and gave an error then I found this post below on StackOverflow and voila it now works perfectly :) For Android Studio: File -> Project Structure... -> Dependencies Click '+' in the upper right corner and select "Library dependency" In the search field type: "org.apache.commons.io" and click Search Select "org.apache.directory.studio:org.apache.commons.io:
