In RH2022, is there a way to remove the underscores and the .pdf extension from a PDF file once it is in the Content/ToC, e.g.,

FCOI_Request_User_Guide.pdf to FCOI Request User Guide

...and, as always, thanks so much for all the help you folks have given me!

When you add the PDF to the TOC it shows the file name by default.

Go to the TOC properties for the PDF and you will see the Title and Source fields. At this point they will show the underscores. You can change the Title to whatever you want and that is what the user will see in the TOC.

I don't think going via Word is the best route. Let me look at this in the morning.

This is a PDF that you've added as an asset to be download?

Hi, Jeff...

It's a PDF of the project I'm working on.

Here's our process: I create a project, then I make a PDF file of that project and include it in the ToC so that user can print it out to refer to as a hard copy.

With RH2017, I was able to simultaneously create a Word and a PDF document, both without underscores or extensions, so I wanted to do that with RH2022 as well.
