Google-drive – Exporting PDF from Google Drive doc – File name loses all spaces

google docsgoogle-drivepdf

We use Google Drive to create documents, and when we publish / release them we export them as a .pdf by using the inbuilt File > Download as > PDF Document (pdf). But when we get the PDF file the spaces have been lost from the title.

So a file that has the title set in Google Drive like this:

My list 2013

will be exported as: 

Mylist2013.pdf

I would prefer it to be formatted as:

My list 2013.pdf

Any ideas how I can correct this so it would use that format (without manually correcting it when its on my local machine)?

Check out https://cloudconvert.org/

The nice thing about this cloud service is that you can grant it access to your Google Drive and select the items that you want to convert. It will then convert them and pop them back in your Google Drive. You get 25 free conversion a day.

I have just tested it and uses the original file name.

There is also an API available should you wish to build something yourself. This is just one small part of the service they offer - there are many more conversion options available.
