Yes, I can print a TQuickRep on a pdf file, using PDFCreator as
driver. PDFCreator has the autosave function which allow you to use a
predefined name for the document.
In my case I need to play with different names. For that I choosed the
way to rename the default file create by PDFCreator (not the best
way, but works)

I am using PDFCreator (as default printer).

When I call "Report.Print;" the file will be generated as PDF with a
generic name. Then I rename it.
The problem for me is whan I tried to print multiple reports into a
loop. I put some conditions (<<If (not Printer.Printing)then>>) and
some timers (sleep) in order to leave enough time for printing and
renaming. Works OK, but for big reports sometimes is a problem.
