Text After Last Dash (" - ") in File Titles Is Removed on Download
Summary:
When downloading any Adobe Express project, all text after the final dash (“ - ”) in the project title is automatically removed from the downloaded file name.
Example:
Before Downloading (project title):
Inventory Sales List - Fall 2025
After Downloading (saved file name):
Inventory Sales List
This occurs across all download formats — PDF, JPEG, PNG, etc.
Steps to Reproduce:
- Create or open a project in Adobe Express.
- Title it using a dash, e.g., “Marketing Brochure - Spring 2025.”
- Download the file in any format.
- Observe that the resulting file name truncates at the last dash, omitting all text after it.
Expected Behavior:
The full title, including all text after the final dash, should be preserved in the downloaded file name.
Actual Behavior:
All characters and spaces following the final dash (“ - ”) are deleted from the exported file name.
Impact:
For teams using Adobe Express to manage large template libraries with specific naming conventions, this behavior creates serious inconsistencies and confusion. Titles like “Version 2 - Client Review” or “Inventory Sales List - Fall 2025” become ambiguous once downloaded, requiring manual renaming each time.
Environment:
- Observed on both Windows and macOS browsers (Chrome, Edge)
- Occurs across multiple accounts and team templates
- Reproducible 100% of the time
Business Impact Example (CinemaTech):
Our marketing team uses Adobe Express templates with precise naming structures for seasonal campaigns and brochure versions. Losing the suffix after the dash causes issues with file management, archiving, and version tracking across our shared library.
