How about "final-file-for-dummies.PDF."

The one that gets me is Business card.pdf

I just make a separate folder and title it "not these" for the customers who send multiple files like this. Then I only keep the "final final final very seriously yes this is the final.pdf" file in the main folder.

Wow.
DejaVu all over again.
We regularly get a file called 'final' from multiple customers.
They take on a life of their own as 'final_final' files in our local discussions.
Odds on ~>70% end up as final_final files.
You just can not make this stuff up.

Yeah, final until the 15 rounds of revisions.

Yeah, final until the 15 rounds of revisions.

To only come back to using the same font in revision # 5

A long time ago I had a customer looking over my shoulder. (They usually weren't allowed past the front office.) She literally had me move a word or logo a smidgen here, there, everywhere, and then back to where it started. She even asked me once what I thought. Oh, no, I'm not falling into that mine shaft.

Final draft.pdf crops up occasionally…

I used to read that Dr. Suess book to my kids!
