How to print to PDF in Linux (alternative to PDFCreator, DoPDF, CutePDF Writer, ...)


Add a virtual PDF printer to Ubuntu or other Linux. Just install cups-pdf.

In Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala:
  1. Install cups-pdf by running the following in the Terminal:
    Code:
    sudo apt-get install cups-pdf
  2. Go to "System" -> "Printing" and hit the New button.
  3. Select "Generic CUPS-PDF printer" and hit the "Forward" button.
  4. Hit the "Apply" button.
Now you can print your documents into a PDF file. The PDF file will be placed into the "PDF" folder in your home directory.
