How to set the PDF filename to the sample name or data file name?

allen_ami Nov 29, 2018 6:26 PM

Hi all,

I am using a LCMS 1260+6120, and Openlab CDS chemstation edition C 01.07 [27] software.

I use PDFCreator to achieve auto-print to PDF to local disk and to FTP server.

But the PDF files I got are all named after the sequence, it seems chemstation only send that to the printer not the datafile name?

Are there some settings in chemstation or PDF creator that can be changed to help solve this?

Some of the settings I use can be seen below.

Any kind of help would be appreciated.

Best,

Allen

Hello,

Unfortunately, I am unfamiliar with the PDFCreator product. When you select a PDF printer as the destination for your report, the resulting PDF file name is determined by the PDF printer. It is possible that someone else on the community knows more about PDFCreator, but it ultimately falls outside of purview of Agilent's support.

Hi allen_ami

I looked into it and there is a character limit for the <Title> that is passed to pdfCreator. It is 30 characters. That just happens to be the character length of your sequence directory so the remaining filename you want get cut off.

It appears to be a OpenLab chemstation limit and not the fault of pdfCreator.
