    Print to PDF

    Hello,

    Not sure if this is the right area for my post, so sorry if it is.

    I am looking for information on how to setup a printer on my CentOS system so that when I print to it, it will be a PDF stored somewhere on the system.

    I have looked at cups-pdf however when I tried it, it installed properly, but I was unable to create a new printer using the PDF printer they specified (Just wasn't there as an option for me).

    Does anyone else have any other idea?

    Thanks,

    Openoffice will export to PDF directly, it doesn't need any special printer config. Maybe that could help?

    Hi Thanks for the quick reply.

    I am not using Open office but it is my own database application which prints to physical printers I set up on the Unix servers.
