+# We will create the pdf into a temporary file based upon the current date and time.
+# After we are finished, we'll rename it to a file with the same date, but ending
+# in .pdf.  We do this because if a user tries to open a PDF that is still being written,
+# they will get a message that it is corrupt, when it is actually just not done yet.
