Yes, this was the reason for scrambling. However if your FA structure is not known to anyone outside, then it is not a big deal.

Everybody that knows your FA setup structure could also read the files.

I see, it 's "only" security between company users. I thought it would be against external user.
I have only 2 users so in my case that's not a problem

Many thanks

If the report names weren't scrambled, it would be easy for users with no access to see the reports by simply entering f.i. http://xxx.com/frontaccounting/company/0/pdf_reports/BalanceSheet.pdf.

Thanks. Just wondering, what is the security flaw if you don't scrambled the report name ?

About line 974 in /reporting/includes/pdf_report.inc.

Remove line 971, 973 and 974.

I'm not sure I need this security. Is that possible to disable it then (and where )?

The scramled report names are for security reasons. Otherwise it is possible for other to read reports.

I can send the email but I don't know why, the PDF is not viewed by the client as an attachment but as an encoded email.

I can change the name when I'm saving the PDF but it will be easier if I didn't have to change the name and the 'proposed' name was correct.

The contact email for statements is based on the customers contacts.

Can't you just save it as from the pdf viewer?

For some reason, I can't email statement to customers . So what I have to do, is save the pdf and email it to my customeres as an attachment. However, it's a bit hard because the name of the saved pdf is something like 134cdada333.pfd.
Is there anyway I can generate a nicer name (like 'statement--.pdf'.

If it 's possible, I can do it, just need to know where to do it ?

Many thanks
