When trying something like this:

quartz.save("/path/and/filename.pdf",type=pdf)
(notice: type=pdf instead of the correct type="pdf")

the error message is:

"Filename must be a string."

The filename actually *is* a string, the *file type* isn't, therefore the
message is misleading. Change to something like

"File type must be a string"
