Deterministic Per-Recipient Filenames • Zero ZIP Collisions • SHA-256 Audit Manifest

Multi-Page PDF Packet & Naming-Convention Builder

Eliminate generic document_1.pdf exports. Configure a collision-free per-recipient filename pattern and audit manifest for ERP ingestion, SharePoint/Google Drive filing, or tax/clinic compliance before running your 250-row local PDF batch.

1. Configure PDF Workflow, Filename Pattern & Batch Row Count

2. Four Filesystem & Compliance Naming Rules (Finance & Accounting — Vendor W-9, 1099 & Fee Schedules)

Selected Pattern Mode: Audit-Standard Chronological ({year}_{doc_code}_{id}_{slug_name}.pdf)

  • Automatic Punctuation & Path Sanitization: Commas, periods, slashes, and quotes in entity names (e.g. 'Northstar Logistics, LLC') are automatically normalized to single underscores ('Northstar_Logistics_LLC').
  • Zero Filename Collision Guarantee: Including the primary key column ('vendor_id', 'unit_number', 'patient_id', or 'employee_id') guarantees two recipients with identical names never overwrite each other in the ZIP archive.
  • Cross-OS Path Length Guard (Windows MAX_PATH & macOS Finder): Individual PDF filenames are capped at 64 ASCII-safe characters so unzipped archives extract cleanly on Windows Server, SharePoint, and macOS.
  • Deterministic Audit Manifest (batch_manifest.csv): Every FormBatch ZIP export can pair with a row-by-row CSV manifest logging the exact output filename and SHA-256 checksum prefix for compliance audits.
