Allow Dynamic Naming of Reports as you can with PM Word Templates

Because of a huge issue with VRL where we cannot generate  PM Word Templates remotely, we are having to recreate all of our PM Templates as Crystal Reports.  When doing so, VP names each pdf it generates from the report the same (i.e. the name of the report).  With PM Template, you can control the naming of the pdf file that gets created i.e. Project # - Doc # etc. so the file names are unique.  Without this ability, the user has to export the report to their desktop, save it as a specific file name by typing it all in, then attaching the file back into Viewpoint, then sending the attachment.  SO much work.  

We have to use Crystal for other PM documents as well because of the severe lack of functionality of word in general and the inability to add any field we need.
