Automatic backup in a user folder (server installation)

[lugio]

Hello,
in server installation, is it possible during a PDF printing, that the file is saved in a "automatic genered "folder corresponding to the name of the user.
Same with pdfcreator (pdf forge) with this argument: <ClientComputer>

I tested the% UserName% command without success

thank you

The Auto Save configuration gives you the %XX% placeholders that you can use for that purpose. To get the user name, use %USERNAME%. This will be replaced with the name of the users that printed. Use this in the output folder text field.

Thanks but

With my current configuration in the output folder:
\\srv-test\common\PDF Impressions\% UserName%\

instead of creating a folder that corresponds to user, it creates me a folder named
srv-test$ file

in my print-PDF folder:
\\srv-test\common\PDF Impressions\

Hard to say, did you recognize the space, thats wrong here? % UserName% should be %USERNAME%

sorry is my translator to add a space, but i do not have one in conf

dossier de sortie: \\srv-tdm\commun\Impressions PDF\%USERNAME%\
Nom de fichier : $fileName_%Y-%m-%d %H-%M

result:

all the user pdf generated one folder named SRV-TDM$ in

\\srv-tdm\commun\Impressions PDF\

instead of creating a folder by user

Hard to say wehre is SRV-TDM$ is coming from. Could you test a bit with a simpler config in order to find the real cause for your issue. TO me, it looks OK.

I just did the test with:
c:\testpdf\%USERNAME%

same SRV-TDM$ in folder, no username folder

it takes the name of the server on which the printer is installed, instead of the name of the connected user who starts printing
