Currently when I generate a PDF file of my document, it produces the name
document1.pdf
I'd like to set it so that it adds the current date (or the date produced by datetoday), such as
document1_March_15_2019.pdf
or however it may produce the date. Is there a method to do that? The closest I found was this link but I'm not using an emac or pdftex, I think. I am using TexMaker on a Mac OS Mojave.

For editors that execute commands in a bash-based shell, you can modify the preferences of your editor to compile with
mydate=$(date +'%B_%d_%Y') ; pdflatex --jobname="document1_$mydate" %.tex
This will generate a pdf called document1_March_15_2019.pdf

@HS-nebula You can do it either way. If you want to compile all your documents like this, you could directly modify the pdflatex preferences, if you only want to use it occasionally, a separate command might be better.
