I want to be able to print to a pdf file. If I go to Kmenu --> Utilities --> Printing --> Printing Manager
then I see "print to file (PDF)" listed but this printer does not show up in any application as a printer selection. Can someone tell me how to setup this pseudo printer so my applications see it...
As it is not a cups provided printer, many applications will not see it. I think you have got to tell applications to print using kprinter, and once there, switch to the pdf pseudo printer.
I always just print to a PS file, then double click on it and it converts. (I also make sure I install a few apps so I can chose what one I want to do the deed.) You can also have a hot folder. Any PS file that goes in it gets converted. Just make sure you give your self a minute or so. If it starts making the PDF before the PS file is done it turns to garbage. This is another step, but it _always_ works. Better than Distiller on the other XP or OSX. (and cheaper) -- Thanks, George ``Badges? We ain't got no badges! We don't need no badges!
