Thank you, Lynn. That explains it.

Before asking here, I looked in the FM (8.5A) help, searching for
"PDF" and reading the "Save Records as PDF script step" info many
times, in addition to trying every possible combination of related
settings.

I feel this is such a major limitation that while creating a runtime a
warning or summary MUST be created which warns about such
incompatibilities.

I did not look yet - but where is this info named in the docu?

How could the PDF problem be solved if a real-world solution was
needed? Get Adobe Acrobat or a third-party PDF generator?

Mac: built-in
Win: good experiences with freepdf.

Before I did use the built-in variable option (which is poorly
documented) I used AppleScript to save with a fixed name and to rename
this as required.
