    What version of IBM Navigator for i are you using?
    The default name for zip files should be iNavExport.
    From My Printer Output, the name of the files pulled down are created from file name, user, job number, system, and other data specific to the file. This was tested on Microsoft Edge as well as Chrome.
    It could be the specific table used to get to the export. Please provide more information about what the initial launch was, and the breadcrumb view of the table before doing the Export.
    Also, to view as PDF, install Transform Services.
