That is what mol is proposingin this post
AFAIK there are still some small issues with it (return to the original name if you call the print repeatedly), and it is not yet implemented. Hopefully in 3.3.2 ;)

It is implemented in the next version, with all the features of the PUTFILE function.

I've took a brief look at the last version and a little proposal for the next releases arised:

It could be nice if you could specify a destination PDF file at SELECT PRINTER command, so, you could generate PDF reports without user interaction (without preview).

This has another advantage: You could use the same print code (@...PRINT commands) without the need of two separate codes @...PRINT and @...HPDFPRINT.

In other words an unique report code with multiple possible destinations (including PDF file).

Since (as I've said) I've only took a brief look at the last version, if this is already possible, I'm sorry in advance...

Very fine option, but we must remember that print preview generates image pdf and .pdf file can be very big for few pages.
