    Keeping original filename when printing to PDF


    Hi all

    I am using 3rd party tools, such as CutePDF and Bullzip PDF to print html files to PDF format. Original file name was retained. e.g if filename was jack.html, resulting PDF filename was jack.pdf. Yesterday, my computer was updated with the 2021-04 cumulative update for Windows 10 20H2.

    Since then, original filename is not retained. It has now a random filename like FG0TR23.pdf.

    Keeping original filename is very important for my applications.

    Please help.

    :)

    To understand the issue better, I suggest you to answer the below questions.

    • What happens when you select small bunch of images and try to print?
    • Is the issue specific to the Microsoft Print to PDF?
    I would suggest you to follow the below steps and check if it helps you.

    • Create a new folder and copy the images you want in PDF.
    • Sort the images as you want. (It always copies as per the sorted time/date)
    • Set the images in Order/Sequence as you want it to be set in PDF.
    • Select all and Print it to PDF.

    Thanks for your help. I was browsing the web the other day and I found a page called FINAL DRAFT. They had a set of instructions for reinstalling the Microsoft Print to PDF utility that worked great for me. Problem solved.
