PDF naming using print button

Hi everyone.

I have a print button for e.g. Purchase Orders.

When I click, it downloads the current PO as a PDF. However, the name is "Purchase Orders1.pdf".

I would like the PDF to be named after the Purchase Order Number for which I have a field.

 

My current code:

printRecord(record('Purchase Orders',Id), "Print Form")

 

Code which does do the job but only saves it in the Attachment tab:

importFile(this, printAndSaveRecord(this, "Print Form"), "PO " + 'PO No.' + ".pdf")

 

I do not want to save the PDF to Ninox as it requires additional steps for my staff. I just want it to download with the PO number as name.

Is this a limitation of Ninox or can it be done somehow?

 

Thanks for any help.

    For anyone interested, I did find a solution. While it does require to save the PDF in Ninox, it doesn't require any additional step.

    Hereis the code which works for me.

    Important is you add waitForSync(); right before the SendEmail section or else the PDF won't be ready once the email is sent.

     

    importFile(this, printAndSaveRecord(this, "Print Form"), "PO " + 'PO No.' + ".pdf");
    let myPdf := printAndSaveRecord(this, "Print Form");
    let myName := "PO " + 'PO No.' + ".pdf";
    importFile(this, myPdf, myName);
    waitForSync();
    sendEmail({
    from: "name@domain.com",
    to: Recipients,
    cc: 'Additional Recipients',
    subject: "Purchase Order " + 'PO No.',
    text: Message,
    attachments: file(this, myName)
    });
    'Submitted on' := now()
