| Summary | 0013199: Save as PDF does not work when File name includes 'illegal characters'. | ||||
| Description | It is not an exactly a Scribus issues as I found out after facing the problem. It happens due to that Windows has some file name restriction that you can not include some symbols. like :,",/,\ etc. I was not aware of that before. At first I thought is is some problem with Scribus. So there should be some mechanism that can take of these type of issue. Edit: First of all in Summary I have written mistakenly Semicolon instead of colon. Following are the Special symbols that you can not use in a filename in Windows. < (less than) > (greater than) : (colon) " (double quote) / (forward slash) \ (backslash) | (vertical bar or pipe) ? (question mark) * (asterisk) While saving the file Scribus should check and warn the user about illegal characters. OSX: Only illegal char is colon | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | 1. Create any document and input necessary data. 2. click on save as PDF option check/modify the required option/data. then include a semicolon in file name anywhere. It will not Generate the PDF File. | ||||

First of all in Summary I have written mistakenly Semicolon instead of colon. Following are the Special symbols that you can not use in a filename in windows. < (less than) > (greater than) : (colon) " (double quote) / (forward slash) \ (backslash) | (vertical bar or pipe) ?

|
In Mac OS X only illegal character is colon. Try to include it in filename and "Save as PDF". If it generates any error than There is no code To check the filename restrictions in Scribus. |
