I can script a save as PDF, and the script nicely overwrites the file if it isn't open, but I'd like to save the file to a version using a time stamp.

So it would be like File_andtoday.pdf

Try the set variable script option.

Name: $filename

Value: Substitute(Table1::field1; "/" ; "-" ) & "_" & Get(CurrentHostTimestamp) & ".pdf"

Repitition: 1

Then add a another set variable to your script (for example for a folder on your desktop)

Name: $fullpath

Value: Get ( DesktopPath ) & "Folder1/" & $filename

Then add to the script Save record as PDF. Specify the where to save as filemac:$fullpath as well as the other options like Current record or all browsed etc. If you're on Windows filewin:$fullpath should work.
