"Print to PDF" printer

[ttown]

I've used things like win2pdf and PDFCreator and they basically do what I want, with one exception -- they prompt the user for a filename.

What I want is for the "printer" to just accept the printjob and save the job to a pdf file with "automatic" filenaming.
I'm imagining something like:
"printjob01.pdf"
"printjob02.pdf"
...etc

From the user app perspective, i just want it to respond like it printed successfully -- with no interaction.

Does anyone know of such a thing? Or a trick in using win2pdf, pdfcreator, etc. that accomplishes what I want?

thanks

Could try CutePDF Maybe it will work, or have an option to do what you would like.

PDFcreator does that. You have to set it up in the options menu. I can't remember how to enter that menu though. 🙁

Oooo, got it. Open the PDFcreator print monitor/Printer menu/Options/autosave.

Jeez... I must have been to that screen 6 times and never even noticed it.

edit: aaaahhhh... it wasn't that screen I looked at -- I'd gone through "printer-->properties" the half-dozen times.

Thanks!
