You can set filePro's default printer to "pdf", in which case everything
that doesn't tell filePro to go elsewhere will be sent to the pdf printer.

You can add "-pn pdf" to the dreport command line, and that report will
be sent to the pdf printer.

You can add "-pq" to the dreport command line, and filePro will ask the
user which printer should be used.
