append date to exporting file name in SQL reporting service

When exporting a report to another format, say excel,PDF; the file name is always set to the report name. Our client has a requirement where whenever a user exports a report to pdf, the timestamp of when the data of the report was made should be appended in the filename. Is there a way to do this in Reporting Services ?

example : Report name : Testreport

Exported file should be : Testingreport-November-22-2007.pdf

please help me in this

Thanks

Please post the over all operation you are trying to perform?
Are you trying to use shell script to ftp the file to any other server?
If Yes, then renaming a file would become easy!!
