Install Mfilemon
Install Ghostscript
Create a new printer. Choose manual configuration. Pick the driver from ghostscript\lib\ghostpdf.inf
Create a new port for the printer, select "Multi file port", name it GSPDF: or whatever
Configure the newly created port as follows:
- Output path = C:\autopdf
- Filename pattern = %Y_%m_%d\file%i.pdf
- User command (change Ghostscript path as needed) = "C:\Program Files\gs\gs9.53.3\bin\gswin64c.exe" @"C:\Program Files\mfilemon\conf\gspdf.conf" -sOutputFile="%f" -
- Use pipe to send data to user command = yes
- Hide process = yes
Print a sample page. You should get a PDF in C:\autopdf\year_month_day\file0001.pdf

USER COMMNAD ON NEW VERSION OF GS =

"C:\Program Files\gs\gs10.01.2\bin\gswin64c.exe" @"C:\Program Files\mfilemon\conf\gspdf.conf" -sOutputFile="%f" -

Prerequisites

gs921w64.exe or gs921w32.exe downloaded from https://www.ghostscript.com/download/gsdnld.html

mfilemon-setup.exe downloaded from https://sourceforge.net/projects/mfilemon/

Note: If you download a Ghostscript version later than 9.21 that's fine - but you need to know what version it is in order to be able to set up "mfilemon" properly.
