Since it takes the file name from the web browser’s window title, you could overwrite the PDF the next time you visit the same vendor. There is an easy fix: put an alias of your very own receipts folder in the user>library>PDF Services folder, and choose that from the dropdown instead. It will append numbers to files with the same names in that folder instead of overwriting them. There is also a tip about rewriting the script, but the alias idea is a lot easier.

I just stumbled on this blog from google’s blogsearch and thought I’d let you know about the site I found for organizing receipts.

I started using shoeboxed.com a little while ago, because when you order things online, you just use your @shoeboxed.com account.

I think it is preferable to saving every order confirmation as a PDF because you can also store paper receipts as digital images on shoeboxed.

I send my receipts to them in a envelope, and they scan them and store them digitally on my account.

When I need them for taxes, I just export the category i need to PDF so that I don’t have to sort anything.

Thought maybe you’d like my tip… but your idea doesn’t seem bad either.
