Saving PDFs from FireFox in that manner gets the file name from the HTML document's
tag. All you need is a Greasmonkey script or a bookmarklet that changes the title on the fly. I'm guessing the part # is part of the url's query string or resides in a javascript-accessible node within the document. It's probably trivial to do.

Hmm... coding is not my thing! But yes, the title of the document comes from the header of the page. It's the same for each one, the title of the vendor. I just add a 1, 2, 3... to the end of the title to save multiple PDF's in one folder. If I could get the default to save as the house number instead, that would be stellar. <br />
<br />
It looks like there is an identifiable part of the page source that determines the house number. Here's a snippet: <br />
"input type="hidden" name="part_no" value="888888" <br />
where 888888 is a test house number. It appears in five total places, and is entered up to two different places on the ordering page.

<br />
If there's only one form on the page, this should work.<br />
Create a new bookmark, and set this as the URL.<br />
When you want to print the page, choose that bookmark.<br />
<br />
<br />
If there is more than on form on the page, you're going to have to figure out which form element contains 'part_no.'<br />
<br />
*you'll need to get rid of the space between 'javascript:' and the first '('.
