(Get the code!)
Well, the "overwritten file" problem should not a hard one to solve... it's not really that hard to use a different filename if that file exists (of course there's a potential race condition if the user is trying to create another file with the exact same name at the exact same time, but this is really not a case to code around, IMHO)
Agreed that every user would want the file in a different place, but the best default choice is the desktop, since that's the most visible, and is the one _least_ likely to cause the user to think that the PDF printer did nothing.
I certainly think a notification icon or (heavens!) an file save dialog would be best, but if you're going to put the file somewhere without asking, put it on the desktop.
