The "Sample File Name" listed at the bottom of the window is updated to show the resulting file name based on the options selected.
You can specify an Auto-Name folder using any of the tags. For example, to place all PDF file in a folder based on the current month and a sub folder based on the current day in the month, you could set the "User Defined" field to:
%PDFMonth%\%PDFDay%\%PDFTitle%.pdf
If the folder doesn't exist, it will be created by Win2PDF.
