Whenever we print using PDFCreator, it is replacing dots (.) where the dashes (-) are supposed to be in the sheet name. For example, P.1.A - Plumbing Sheet would print the file name as P-1-A - Plumbing Sheet. How do you fix this issue?

Have you checked out the Title Replacement feature of PDFCreator?

I don't know how this would work if you have BOTH dashes and dots in the file name such as P.1 - Plumbing Sheet. I could only replace one or the other, not keep both. Any thoughts on printing the file name in that instance?
