Profile script is not called when using "print to file"

I have 2 main issues I'd like to solve, both around the idea of outputting a file to a specific path during an automation step.

1. Using "print to file" functionality outputs a .ps Postscript file rather than a .pdf as desired.
2. Also using "print to file", my custom script is not executed. This means I can't set up a script to convert the .ps to .pdf automatically.

If I don't use "print to file" I have to try to set environment variables before printing to keep track of a few different pieces of data needed for the filename, and pulling those in my script has proven unreliable.

There has to be a better way of doing this but the options I've tried so far have been hacky and not without bugs.
