How to give unique filename to a downloaded assignment template

I have an assignment document that I want my students to download, complete, and then upload to be graded. To ensure that each student does their own work, I would like the document to be assigned a unique filename suffix each time it is downloaded by a student. So, for example, a template named Assignment01.pdf would be renamed Assignment01_[random digits].pdf upon being downloaded. 

 

Is it possible to do this in Canvas? Or is there another method for ensuring that each student fills out their own copy of the assignment file?
