Hi,

I wonder if it would be possible to create a PDF virtual printer driver
for Fedora, just like PDFCreator in Windows. I know that it is possible
to select "Print to file" and then run ps2pdf on the resulting file, but
I think that it would be better to be able to print to PDF directly.


Would this be possible? Or is it already, but requires me to install
some package?


Regards
Ingemar

It is already possible for applications that use the GTK+ print dialog.
Select 'Print to File' and select PDF for the output format.

An alternative is to use the cups-pdf package.

Okay. Could be good to know, although I primarily wanted the ability to
print web pages to PDF, and Firefox does not use that print dialog.

I got that tip already, but thanks anyway. It works just as I want it to.
