Setup PDF Naming Rules

Select one or more parameters to create naming rules for exported PDF files.

The values for naming rules are separated by a hyphen by default. You can also specify a custom character instead of the default used by the naming rules.

For example, you can setup a rule as follows; <Project Name>-<Sheet Number>-<Sheet Name>. Each PDF exported would use the naming rule as PDF files are exported.

Note: Naming rules are saved as part of an export setup. See Work with View/Sheet Sets for Exporting for additional information. To create additional naming rule setups, create and save separate export setups.
