Folder

Use printing application's current folder

When this option is selected, the Save As dialog for the PDF file will be opened with the printing application's current folder selected. Use this option when you usually want to save the PDF file in the same folder as the original document that you are printing.

Use last folder

When this option is selected, the Save As dialog for the PDF file will be opened with the last used folder selected. Use this option if you wish to save several PDF files in the same folder, or if you want to append new generated PDF files to the previous generated PDF file.

Always use this folder

In the Folder field you can set a folder where the files will be saved. The path you enter here will be shown on the Save As dialog when printing.

 

File

File name

You can manually type a name for the generated PDF file in the File name field or use Macro to automatically name the PDF file created.

In order to use different file names for each generated PDF files, you can use some macros in the File name field (an example of how the macros are converted is shown just below the File name field).
