Is there a way to change the default options when saving a Report as PDF
1. Permanently change default path for saving report.
2. Permanantly untick "Open PDF with default viewer" in the after save action
Add:
According to Help file, inserting just a filename will save report to last used location. However after Saving first report to D:\FH Reports, the 2nd report, when saved using filenasme only with no path specified, was saved to standard default path, which was NOT the last path used!

See Re: Printed reports where Helen shows how to set Family Historian PDF > Properties > Save > Configure Save Options and the Always use this folder option looks promising.

Thanks Mike (and Helen),
Found it simpler if one uses File/Print, rather than Report Save as. then all the printer's settings are applied, including whether you want to open File in PDF viewer when finished!
Whereas If one uses Report/Save As, FH uses its own default settings for filename and path, which you must remember to overwrite, and you must remember to change the setting for action required when finished, if you don't want PDF viewer opened.
