Macro to use textfield content as new filename

Post by smoo4what »

Hi Forum,
say I'd batch print to PDF there do exist the possibilities to rename with %[FileName] and so on.

Is there an expression that that would use for example the content of a text form-field for the file renaming?

Wished to be able to write sth like %[Filename]_%[Textfield1] and get my now only date stamped files to be renamed more specific.

Thanks in advance, smoo4what

Hi, smoo4what

Currently there is no function to accomplish this, and I am unsure of its viability, but I will pass the idea up to our Development team and see if ti is possible, as it would certainly help countless people.

Kind regards,
