You have posted this question to the Lacerte SDK group, which is not related to your issue (maybe others?).

As a SmartVault user, in this case the naming, I believe is done by SmartVault, not Lacerte.  If you print it to a standard PDF (to say your desktop) you will get a different file name than that seen in Smartvault

As for the "WorkAround", we have been also using the "add a -1 at the end", but I think going forward I am going to create a new folder in the Client Tax returns with the date of the original return and just move the files.  Easy to do in Connected Desktop.

We do PREFIX the Amended returns with the word AMENDED but it's after printing so yes, you need to move or rename the file(s) first.

I think the SV Enhancement should be to add a "Save As" dialog box (configurable option) to their print process.
