Summfing broke:
I often print files from Firefox to PDF. I have been doing this for some time and on a regular basis (receipts for registration and whatnot) on my current system - openSUSE 10.3/KDE.
I went to print - of all things - a registration for LinuxDay 2008. (http://www.novell.com/linux/linuxday/register.html)
I no longer have the print-to-file option that I did with the option to select PDF or Postscript.
I didn't know there was such a possibility, I have always printed to postscript file. I think you can select what interface or program comes up when you say "print" in firefox. You can see the configuration going to "about:config", and searching for print. Some people set "kprinter" here. Or you can set a system printer that instead prints to a PDF file. I think I saw it some days back in cups somewhere :-? Perhaps it was in Yast, but it locked when I tried. It has been busy for half an hour building a printers database, and I killed it. :-(
I went ahead and selected the Print to File button next to the drop-down list of printers in the print dialog box.
I was given simply the option of a name. I went ahead and selected myname.pdf. I ended up with a useless postscript file.
It isn't useless X-)
What happened? What did I mess up?
...
I've included the messed up file.
:-) No need. You can convert postscript to pdf with a single command: ~> ps2pdf linux-day-2008.pdf done :-) I have done it that way for years. Or, you can keep the ps file and use it directly (view with gv, for instance). - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
