Rename file when sending

[emmanpelayo]

Hi, I usually use 'save and send' -> 'send as pdf' when sending a report. The first line in the file then becomes the filename of the attached file. I was hoping I could set as something else. any input appreciated. Thanks

If you SaveAs a document with the choice of filename you want to use, then the PDF would adopt that name. However this is likely to give you a second copy of the original file that you might then wish to delete.

I recently created http://www.gmayor.com/email_document.html which is essentially an alternative to save and send, albeit using a slightly different process which includes the default signature for the e-mail account. It might make an interesting update project to provide an option to choose or change the filename of the attachment. What did you have in mind?

P.S. I liked the idea of renaming the attachment, so have implemented it at the above link.
