Default
You can make a macro run automatically whenever a document is created, via a Document_New macro in the template's 'ThisDocument' module. I'm not sure how invoking a SaveAs process at that time would fit in with your workflow, though.

Regarding "updating the Title property so it stays with the resultant pdf", you can do that by inserting:
.BuiltInDocumentProperties("Title") = StrNm
before the first:
End With

To make the default save format 'PDF', simply insert:
.Format = wdFormatPDF
before:
.Show
