The module works fine for certain pages but returns the following error message on specific pages: The specified path, file name, or both are too long. The fully qualified file name must be less than 260 characters, and the directory name must be less than 248 characters I am using the module on a page that displays a Google Map within Indoo Grid, so havbe little control over url length! Is there a work around?

the file name generated by this module is the page url, without specific charactors link /. so maybe your page url is too long?

The url has 187 characters - includes query string variables and uses GUIDs: http://www.aasouthafrica.co.za/Default.aspx?&ge395__geka=n9_64PYf7FENUIDmqqFRGJzdd6Gd-2F8M82yYWMedAf32ljWHGzb9dJMAocOfGTR79iC-Q7Zap_a_7HIEI1tFg&ge395__gevi=unpQbVnrpu6C-RoEJCqBDw&tabid=64 Save as pdf converts this 297 characters: http://www.aasouthafrica.co.za/DesktopModules/SaveAsPdf/DownloadPdf.aspx?Portalid=0&Url=http%3a%2f%2fwww.aasouthafrica.co.za%2fDefault.aspx%3f%26ge395__geka%3dn9_64PYf7FENUIDmqqFRGJzdd6Gd-2F8M82yYWMedAf32ljWHGzb9dJMAocOfGTR79iC-Q7Zap_a_7HIEI1tFg%26ge395__gevi%3dunpQbVnrpu6C-RoEJCqBDw%26tabid%3d64 I don't have any control over the url because it is generated dynamically by IndooGrid (third party module). Is it possible to remove the character limit on the file name? Alternatively, how about a different naming convention for files?

the limit comes from windows system, it must be less than 256 charactors. however, you can pass "Name" parameter in querystring which tells SaveAsPdf the file name to be generated, can you manage to pass it in querystring?

The query string already contains a unique identifier, but it's called "ge395__gevi" rather than "Name". So for the example above file name could be set to unpQbVnrpu6C-RoEJCqBDw. Can I specify the paramater to be used for file name in Save as PDF module?

as I said, you just need to ensure Name is included in the querystring so this module will use it as file name. for example: http://www.aasouthafrica.co.za/DesktopModules/SaveAsPdf/DownloadPdf.aspx?Name=My_Desired_FileName&Portalid=0&Url=http%3a%2f%2fwww.aasouthafrica.co.za%2fDefault.aspx%3f%26ge395__geka%3dn9_64PYf7FENUIDmqqFRGJzdd6Gd-2F8M82yYWMedAf32ljWHGzb9dJMAocOfGTR79iC-Q7Zap_a_7HIEI1tFg%26ge395__gevi%3dunpQbVnrpu6C-RoEJCqBDw%26tabid%3d64

When I do this manually Save As Pdf converts it to: http://www.aasouthafrica.org.za/DesktopModules/SaveAsPdf/DownloadPdf.aspx?Portalid=0&Url=http%3a%2f%2fwww.aasouthafrica.org.za%2fDefault.aspx%3f%26Name%3d1%26ge395__geka%3dn9_64PYf7FENUIDmqqFRGKJKio7QXxura0-vSfsJ7o9p2J0eqUPC4KLfTxtnSSgBsKOMu1-3sQLbQpBL8HR3HQ%26ge395__gevi%3dunpQbVnrpu6C-RoEJCqBDw%26tabid%3d64 It's converting &Name=1 into %3f%26Name%3d1 and using the full url as the file name (i.e. giving the same error as before)

you made "name" as a parameter of the url to be converted. you should make it as a parameter of DownloadPdf.aspx. like my example: http://www.aasouthafrica.co.za/DesktopModules/SaveAsPdf/DownloadPdf.aspx?Name=My_Desired_FileName&Portalid=0&Url=http%3a%2f%2fwww.aasouthafrica.co.za%2fDefault.aspx%3f%26ge395__geka%3dn9_64PYf7FENUIDmqqFRGJzdd6Gd-2F8M82yYWMedAf32ljWHGzb9dJMAocOfGTR79iC-Q7Zap_a_7HIEI1tFg%26ge395__gevi%3dunpQbVnrpu6C-RoEJCqBDw%26tabid%3d64 do you see the difference?

I eventually got this to work by adding java script to read and rewrite the url. Please can you add settings to next version of module allowing user to specify file name.
