had a small project for work, couldnt use PDF for the output file as it wouldnt format the page correctly... so use the handy print to a graphic file feature of Pagestream. (a life saver as i need to bring in the saved files to work to print them on the color copier.

oddly a new bug has shown up. If i dont specify a file type extension in the file name for the save, it wont save correctly.

now i have turned on use file extensions in Preferences/Files. I'm not sure if that is the culprit.

but shouldnt the default behaviour be Pagestream adds the extention for you, as you have to select the graphic file type you want to save as?

Is there anyone else having this problem?

Could you be more specific about wouldn't format the page correctly?

If you tell it not to put a file extension on, and you save it without
typing .pdf, then that is exactly what you will get, a file without
.pdf. However, the contents of the file are the same regardless. If a
browser is confused because the file doesn't have .pdf on it, then you
need to put .pdf on the file name.
