    Description

      QPrintDialog doesn't set the outputFileName of the QPrinter if the user selects "Save as PDF" even though in qprintdialog_mac.mm it appears to record the name.

      As a secondary note, it also does not change the outputFormat to PdfFormat. I can see this being debatable but not so much the file name.

      Minimal test case:

      ================= MacPDF.pro ================
      QT += core gui printsupport
      TARGET = MacPDF
      TEMPLATE = app
      SOURCES += main.cpp
      =============================================

      ================= main.cpp ==================
      #include <QApplication>
      #include <QDebug>
      #include <QtPrintSupport/QPrinter>
      #include <QtPrintSupport/QPrintDialog>

      int main(int argc, char *argv[])
      {
          QApplication a(argc, argv);

          QPrinter printer(QPrinter::HighResolution);
          QPrintDialog dlg(&printer);

          if (dlg.exec() == QDialog::Accepted)
          {
             qDebug() << "File name:" << printer.outputFileName();

             if (printer.outputFormat() == QPrinter::PdfFormat)
                qDebug() << "Format: PDF";

             if (printer.outputFormat() == QPrinter::NativeFormat)
                qDebug() << "Format: Native";
          }
      }
      =============================================
