How about running it on every month end, so you don't have to run it like for
whole year(that was you were trying, right?)

If you want to keep only the 1st date pdf and remove rest of days in month
  pdfs then you can simply do so , by doing

  ~d02/month/year-30/month/year ...likewise for the month having 31 days too.

  You can easily create an macro to bind it to a key to invoke that,so you
  don't have to remember the syntax.


  Not sure, if it solve your owes. Or probably I misread your need.
