Manage Unit-Specific Files in an Intermediate File Format

When a file with the same name already exists in the BVD export location, the [Confirm File Overwrite] dialog appears.

When a unit-specific file with a long name is exported to a BVD file, the name is shortened to 20 characters or less.

If characters that cannot be used in Windows file names exist in the unit-specific file or folder name, these characters are deleted and the file name is shortened. If all the characters are deleted, the file is renamed as a BVD file name, "newfile.bvd".

If a unit-specified file with a content source file extension (.pdf, .xls, etc.) is exported to a BVD file, the BVD file is created with a file name ending in .pdf, .xls, etc. When the checkmark by [Hide extension for known file types] on the "View" tab in Explorer's [Folder Options] dialog is removed, the correct BVD extension can be confirmed.

In the case of Windows Vista, click [Control Panel] J [Folder Options] in the Start Menu and remove the checkmark from the [Hide extensions for known file types] on the [View] tab in the [Folder Options] dialog.
