>VFP seems to always name it’s documents “Visual Foxpro” when they are sent to the print spooler. Word includes the file name in the name it sends to the print spooler like “Microsoft Word – Document1”. I need to be able to control the name VFP gives it documents. This is part of a project to archive reports printed from VFP. I have found a print driver (called NikNak) that will store the printed file to a PDF but it names the file based on the name passed from VFP and appends a number if the name already exists. I’m getting a collection of documents named “VisualFoxpro0”, “VisualFoxpro1”. Etc. VFP documentation doesn’t seem to address how to name these printed files at all. I’d be greatful for any direction on how to control this name.

There's something in the Files section of the UT to do this. I'm not sure if it's under Reports, Classes or API's though.
