If you work with PDF files on a regular basis and convert multiple files of the same kind (e.g., invoices), there are features in a PDF converter tool, such as PDFCreator that can really help speed up your workflow. One of these time-saving settings is "automatic saving.” It lets you pre-select the target folder and values for the file name.
Your documents get saved automatically after printing
As mentioned in our article outlining how to create PDF files, one of the ways to create a PDF file is by printing it directly from the original document, be it in Word, Excel, etc. The auto-save feature doesn't have to be any more complicated than that: You can enable the autosave feature and predefine the settings once in your profile and connect a PDFCreator printer to it.
Afterwards, you will be able to skip the interaction with PDFCreator and just print directly from your document without having to choose a target folder or file name.
