Save as PDF overwrites existing files without warning

Hi,

Environment Details
Plugin version: FireShot Pro 1.11.04
OS type and version: Microsoft Windows 11 Pro 10.0.26200 Build 26200
Version of browser: Microsoft Edge Version 147.0.3912.72 (Official build) (64-bit)

Description
I have encountered an issue (or perhaps a missing safety feature) regarding the "Save as PDF" function. Currently, if I capture a webpage and save it to a directory where a file with the identical name already exists, FireShot overwrites the old file immediately.

There is no warning dialog or "File already exists" prompt. This has led to accidental data loss when multiple captures share default naming patterns.

Steps to Reproduce
Navigate to any webpage and use FireShot to "Capture entire page and Save as PDF."
Save the file to a specific folder (e.g., C:\Captures\test.pdf).
Enable Settings that allows you to save without prompting a dialog window.
Perform the same capture and attempt to save it to the same folder with the exact same name (test.pdf).
Result: The original test.pdf is overwritten instantly without any confirmation prompt.

Requested Improvement
An auto-increment feature (e.g., filename (1).pdf) if a conflict is detected.
