Bug Description
When printing with a GNOME application, users can select 'Create A PDF Document'.
Now the default ouput Location is '~/output.pdf', that's very easy to code, but
it's not really all the logical for the users, I would suggest something like this:
1. Output by default not to ~ but to the directory in which the file which is
being printed to PDF resides
2. Select the originating filename and add .pdf to it (and maybe possible a date)
Example:
--------
Source file: ~/Documents/
PDF file: ~/Documents/
or PDF file: ~/Documents/
