As Martin has already explained, Ray's idea can't work because Printers
never knows where a file has come from.

However, it may be worth mentioning that in a -- probably unrelated --
discussion with a PrintPDF user, a similar idea was requested.  This has
now been modified into the more practical idea of dragging a file into the
Save As window to set the name of the file to save.

This has now made it into the latest version of PrintPDF -- it might help
someone here.  The theory goes that you would drag the original file into
the Save PDF window, which would give the PDF the same path and leafname,
with with the extension changed to /pdf.
