Hello,
 
I have a client who has reports automatically generated on a machine from lab equipment. This then proceeds to send the information off to the default windows queue. I've suggested they use a pdf writer as the default printer to save paper and to be better organized. The only issue is that when using a PDF output device, it asks for a filename everytime. Since this machine is unmanned, it would make it difficult for someone to go input a filename everytime. Is there a way to make it automatically save it as a seperate file name? Maybe by date or some other logic? Any free options to accomplish this would be appreciated. My apologies if this is not posted in the correct forum.

In the Adobe PDF Printer, right click and set the Printing Preferences to a specific Output Folder and turn off Prompt for Filename.

I also recommend turning OFF the setting Rely On System Fonts Only; Do Not Use Document Fonts
