Rob had it exactly right!
I generally leave the path out of the script and direct it where I want it
to go in the compose screen. If you want to do it without the path you will
achieve your dynamic naming this way.
FusionPro.Composition.outputFileName = "What-ever you want before the field"
+ Field("UniqueFieldValue") + "text after the field" + ".pdf";
As you can see you can create any combination of fields and text to create
your output filename. Make sure you are using a field or some kind of
combination of fields and text that has a unique value, or you are adding
something unique or you could inadvertently over-write some of earlier
records with records that show up later in the list.
Make sure you follow all of the steps Rob has listed below.

There certainly is!
1. Create a new OnNewOutputFile callback rule
2. Use this syntax (note that the \ character is "escaped"):
FusionPro.Composition.outputFileFullPathName = "C:\\My Files
Go Here\\" + Field("LastName") + ".pdf";
3. Go to FusionPro > Compose... and under the Output tab, check the "Output
to multiple files" box, set the "Number of records per file" to 1, and
uncheck the "Different number of records in first file".
HTH,
Rob
