Hi Erik,

Do you mean the name of the \*\_fop.xml file?  
To set this dynamically from within your Natural program, use the property pdfpageprop in NATPAGE.

Or do you mean the Name of the generated \*.pdf at runtime? See attached screenshot.  
Currently NJX does not support to dynamically set this name. I agree: It really would make sense. Could you please add an enhancement request in Empower if you think we should add this to the NJX product? Thanks.

Best Regards,  
Christine

Hi Christine Zimmermann

Yes, I wanted Name of the generated \*.pdf at runtime.  
It would be great if you had that option

Thank you Christine
