Creating A Virtual PDF Printer On Mac OS X

Posted on 10:35 AM by Unknown
If you do a lot of printing to PDF files on a Macintosh, then you might be interested in this post from Mac OS X Hints…

Batch convert Word files to PDFs

The article is mainly focused on allowing you to run batch PDF creation jobs from Microsoft Word but it also introduces us to CUPS-PDF, a virtual PDF printer module for Mac OS X.

While Mac OS X has printing to PDF built-in, you have to select that option for each job you want done. However, the CUPS-PDF module adds a Virtual Printer entry into your printer list so, if you have a large amount of PDF file creation jobs to do, then you can easily set it as the default printer and just get on with it.
