Update RenameInvoice.ps1
Trying direct line-match to clearly identifies the exact line that reads "Bill to" to avoid false matches. 
Next non-empty line: Reliably grabs the immediate next line with actual content as the customer's name.
Filename safety: Removes characters Windows doesn't allow in filenames.
Error and file existence handling: Provides informative messages if conflicts or errors occur.
