The title and description of this bug may need to be updated to reflect changes that have been made to PDF workflow since the bug was filed.
In Jaunty, GNOME print dialogs have a "Print to File" printer available in the Print dialog. When you select this printer, the output file's suggested name is "output.pdf" and the suggested locations is the user's home directory.
"output" is jargon, has the potential to collide with another file of the same name in the destination directory, and is difficult to remember as it has no relation to the name of the file being saved as PDF. Incorporating the source file's name in the output filename as the reporter suggests seems like a great improvement.
Saving to the user's home directory is reasonable, but the Desktop is a more accessible location. We may also want to consider saving the PDF to the same directory as the source file.
