[Hazel](http://www.noodlesoft.com/hazel.php) will automate all of this for you, although it comes with a price ($28 USD). Here is a recent [topic here](https://discourse.devontechnologies.com/t/revisiting-hazel/13973/11) about using Hazel to do pretty much exactly what you are looking to do. To my knowledge, there is no other solution out there that will automate the naming of documents based on a date in the document.
