    Hello,

    I have a question regarding PDF24 Creator 11.30.1.

    When I merge PDF files using the Merge button in the editor, the resulting document is automatically named "Document0". When I merge the same files by dragging them into a single row, PDF24 automatically uses the name of the first PDF file as the default file name.

    Is there any setting that would make the Merge button behave the same way and use the name of the first input file as the default name for the merged document?

    I tried enabling the "Use name of first file for the result when joining files" option in the Assistant section of the settings, 
    but that didn't help.
    Version: 11.30.1
    
    Thank you.

    Hello,

    at the moment there is no setting for this. The Merge documents button in the PDF24 Creator always gives the result a new name ("Document" with a number). The option "Use name of first file for the result when joining files" only applies to the PDF24 Assistant, not to the Creator.

    Until this changes, you can rename the merged document before saving: right-click it and choose Change name. The name is then suggested as the file name when you save. Dragging the pages into the row of the first document, as you already do, also keeps its name.

    Thank you for the suggestion, we will add it to our list.
