This may be applicable and/or interesting :
In Aug/Sep 2006 and Jan 2007 there were posts on the subject of PDF printing
from Excel (but applicable to any application)
The method advocated by Tom Stiller was to use cups-pdf with a virtual
desktop printer and a folder action script to rename files as they are
'printed' to take care of the same filename problem.

I had a problem setting it up but all was resolved by Tom Stiller in January
2007.

I have been using Tom's method and script quite successfully since then.
Of course Word documents still 'print' as multiple pdf files if there are
differences in page sizes or margin sizes across section boundaries. PDFLab
is then useful for stitching them together.
