Or use the same idea as in the UNIX version:

There's a Destination setting, from which you can choose one of
your physical printers, or a PostScript file, or a PDF file.
If you select "PS file" or "PDF file", the filename field becomes
automatically set up with a suitable filename.
If you select "PDF file", the Acrobat Distiller is automatically
invoked and creates a PDF file (with default Distiller settings).
This setting also automatically turns on "Generate Acrobat Data"
and the other way around (Acrobat Data switches Destination to
"PDF file"!).

There simply is no way to get it wrong unless you mess up.
