I run printwizard for creating pdf's. To get different report names I start the reports fron a clerk session and then use system to create the output. 

In one case reports are run from one file which has the names of those getting a report from data in another file. The first file is used to pass parameters to the command constructed 

I am using the server edition and not pfpostprint. I have a number is services running allowing different outputs to be routed to different directories.
