Printing a report from MS Visual Foxpro as pdf file

Out of Microsoft Visual Foxpro (VFP), I can print a report to the printer "PDFCreator". I determine the PDF Creator output directory for the pdf output file in the PDF creator options. This works perfect!

My need is to determine the pdf file name before every printing process. This time, the file names are like by the set tokens. But I would need a name not dependent from the tokens.

In VFP, a print command looks like:
REPORT FORM c:\myform TO PRINTER
whereby the PRINTER is set to the printer PDFCreator.

Another possibility is to start a "DOS command" like
RUN pdfcreator.exe runtime-parameters

Do you see a possiblity to set a different output pdf file name for every printing?

Thank you!
