Automation when creating and printing a document

Hello!
As part of our work, we need to constantly create tasks for employees and print documents (work orders). There are many tasks, often they are on different projects and at different times. Falling into each specific task for printing a document is inconvenient.
We tried to automate by mass changes - first we transfer the necessary processes to the stage of creating a document, then we select mass printing. It got a little easier, but it still took a long time.
We decided to use the "Download document" action, in the hope that it would be possible to implement the process according to the following scheme:

We understand that this is exactly what is happening now. Our question is, does the system have functionality that will allow you to download documents without falling into the task? Perhaps there are some actions in automation (once per minute / hour / day) that we have not noticed?

No, only the option of uploading documents via ftp to some other server is possible. In any other case, the browser cannot save anything to the user's computer without his actions.
