I had version 8 and changed the suffix that was added to the filenames of the resulting PDF files after "Save as Optimized" was used.
I upgraded to version 10 and can no longer find the setting that I changed. Was it removed from the software? Where can I change the filename suffix?
Where to change prefix/suffix for optimized file names?

Hello, bigbluesd
I don't believe that the Editor offers controls for that, but if you were making us of PDF-Tools for the process, you would change that in the Tools "save document" output settings: Kind regards,

Re: Where to change prefix/suffix for optimized file names?
Hi all,
It seems like it is still possible to change the prefix/suffix for the name of optimized files in PDF-XChange Editor V10.
You only have to know where ...
You can find the "Optimizer Settings"-dialog-box via the File-menu > Preferences > Plugins > PDF Optimizer > Setup...
I hope this helps.
Kind regards.
Willy

Hi Willy,
This is a massive help to me — well done and huge thanks to you for knowing where to find it, when PDF XChange themselves didn't even know!
Very best wishes from London.

Glad to read that the information in this topic has helped you further.
A word of thanks to the people of PDF-XChange Support for there everyday effort to help people using their applications.
There are so many options and features in PDF-XChange products that it becomes difficult to know them all.
Kind regards.

Hello, Willy Van Nuffel
I would like to extend the same thanks to you, Willy. On days when we cannot quite get it all caught up here on the forums, I often see you (and a few others) stepping up, and like above sometimes even going so far as to teach me about our own software!
It is greatly appreciated!
