Set default file name when exporting from Preview to PDF

I’m using LL 27 and VCL component in C++Builder. When I preview a report and choose Export in the Ribbon export to PDF, the suggested file name is always Preview.pdf. I have tried different parameters with no success (LlXSetParameter.PDF.Export.File, LlSetOptionString(LL_OPTIONSTR_SAVEAS_PATH,…)
Any help, please?
Thank you very much in advance.

Hi Edorta, this should help:

Automatic Storage of Form Data

tldr: you need to set

LlPrintSetProjectParameter(hJob,"SaveAs.Format","PDF",
       LL_PARAMETERFLAG_VALUE);
LlPrintSetProjectParameter(hJob,"SaveAs.Filename","...",
       LL_PARAMETERFLAG_VALUE);

If you work with databinding, you need to do this in the OnDefinePrintOptions event. Otherwise, make sure to call these APIs after starting the print job with LlPrint(WithBox)Start.
