When checked, a new combo-box is displayed allowing other Multiple File fields to store the converted PDF called Save Auto Converted PDF To:. By default the converted PDF will be saved to the same field as the original Word Document.

Below is an image of the checked option and the new combo-box providing other field options from a drop down menu.
