Create filename automatically

Hi,
does anyone know how I can implement a code in my word or excel document to create the filename of the pdf automatically?

My task: I have to print 100 files manually, created by a MS Excel spreadsheet. With another pdf creator I just had to implement a string like
"@@sfInvoice_No_xx" , so at least I didn´t have to type in the file name when I used the pdf-printer to save the file.

(sf was for "save file" and I could automatically get the xx changed by excel.)

Is there something similar for Acrobat?
I found some posts about complicated script, but I´m a tech dummy, so any help would be highly appreciated!

Thank you.

My Product Information:
Acrobat Standard 9.0, Windows

Well, the short answer is No, this is something you get a 3rd party tool for.

There is nothing for this specifically built into the PDF Printer/converter. But, as you point out, there are various scripting/programming solutions.
