PDFs from Safari show up as “untitled”

I create PDFs using the print command in Safari. Lately, all of them show up in EagleFiler as “untitled.” How can I get them to pick up the title from the article itself the way it used to happen?

EagleFiler imports both the title and filename from the PDF file. Both of these are settable in the save panel when you print to PDF in Safari. Perhaps you have untitled entered there?

My preferred process is to display the web page in Reader View, then choose Print, then choose “Save PDF to EagleFiler” from the PDF menu. I have no file name listed when I do that. The extension used to grab the file name from the PDF and display that in EF, but no more.

I’m still investigating, but it looks to me like this is a bug in Safari Reader. It seems to be creating a PDF file without that metadata so there’s nothing for EagleFiler to read. It works for me as before on macOS Sequoia when Safari is not in Reader mode.

If you hold down the Option key when using Save PDF to EagleFiler it will let you override the title.

Thanks, Michael! A bit more work but I’ll take it!

Are you going to report the Reader View bug to Apple?

Yes, once I’ve confirmed exactly what’s happening. Duplicate reports help, of course. :slight_smile:

Also, to be precise, does it say unnamed document for you rather than untitled?
