Regarding Multiple File creation on an internet document

I work for CADGIS Research Laboratory at Louisiana State University. We have found that whenever an internet document is sent to a printer, it creates in multiple folders whereever there is a blackslash.

Can someone write a script to fix this problem.

Thank you!

You can work around this using the script action, in the list of actions add a Script action and paste in the following code:

DocumentName = Replace(DocumentName, "\", "")
DocumentName = Replace(DocumentName, "/", "")
DocumentName = Trim(Replace(DocumentName, ":", ""))

Now move the Script action to the top of the list so it gets run before the Write File action. It will remove the \, / and : characters from the document name which will stop Print Distributor creating the extra folders.
