Printing to PDF

[rathod.nikhil@gmail.com]

Is there any way, by which when I press ctrl+p instead of printing to postscript it prints to pdf
or even in XPS . just kidding.

like PDF machine for windows.

While searching I found this

Print to PDF using cups-pdf

is there any better way?

Under
utilities->kjobviewer->filter->selectprinter
I selected print to a file (PDF)

But even after that when I press ctrl+p it shows option only for postscript

Ctrl+P, Name -> Print to File (PDF) doesn't work for you?

No, In ctrl+P there is only one option under name i.e. PostScript/default

Hi Rex,

If you are trying to print PDFs out of Firefox, there is some extra doing to be done. As far as I can tell, cups-pdf under Kubuntu only makes pdf printing come up as an option in KDE applications or applications that rely on the KDE printing utility.

Anyway, the instructions I used are at:

They worked fine for me.
