I now need to set up a print-to-pdf to be able to print/save. What is the easiest solution? cups-print-to-pdf and run cups locally?
Short howto: Installing Acroread 9.5.5: download (or install from the remote location) ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/unix/9.x/9.5.5/enu/AdbeRdr9.5.5-1_i486linux_enu.rpm # zypper in AdbeRdr9.5.5-1_i486linux_enu.rpm Installing cups-pdf to provide a print-to-pdf virtual printer: # zypper ar http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Printing/openSUSE_13.1/printing # zypper in cups-pdf done. cups-pdf will autoconfigure the virtual-printer and the ppd that does a reasonable job (you can tweak the ppd driver in yast). Just select your printer as CUPS-PDF in whatever application, your pdfs will be output to: /var/spool/cups-pdf/$USER For convenience, you can create a soft link to home $ cd $ ln -s /var/spool/cups-pdf/$USER pdfs (or cups-pdf) whatever you preference. NOTE: on first start acroread is slow as it does whatever it does to configure itself and present the Agree with License screen. On subsequent launches it is scalding fast -- no issues. -- David C.
