It does have programmatic interface, but limit to 3 kind of options: 1) Have a save-as dialog 2) Fixed filename 3) Base on the original document name. If I really want to keep changing file name, the only option I will have is to keep editing the ini file to change the fixed filename into something else everytime I create a new pdf.
