Q: Why does the original filename appear when printing to PDF even after renaming the file?

Answer

If you create a FileMaker Pro file, and rename it at an OS level, any PDFs printed from that file retains the original filename. The original filename also appears when previewing or looking at the printer queue while printing. Performing a recover on the file (File menu > Recover) will resolve this issue and display the proper file name.
Applies to Mac OS X.
