Specify output file for "Microsoft Print to PDF" printer

[Les43625]

I'm using Spire.Doc and have my service printing without a user interface. When I'm testing locally without access to a printer I would like to change the printer to "Microsoft Print to PDF".
If I do this it pops up a prompt for the output filename. I would really like to be able to specify the filename and have it print without a dialog appearing.

I have read about Word having a PrintOut method which has a parameter for specifying the output file. Is there anything like this available with Spire.Doc and the PrinterSettings or StandardPrintController?
