Tom Horsley: >> You could install cups-pdf then use any tool you like Timothy Murphy: > such as? Any program that can print to the printer, and you can select which printer it prints to. You choose the PDF printout option. Having said that, I haven't got cups-pdf installed, yet if I call up the print requester to print something (such as this email), and pick the print-to-file option, I have options to produce a file that's PDF, Postscript, or SVG. And they all work. ~]$ rpm -qa cups\* cups-libs-1.5.4-18.fc17.i686 cups-pk-helper-0.2.2-2.fc17.x86_64 cups-libs-1.5.4-18.fc17.x86_64 cups-1.5.4-18.fc17.x86_64 As far as the original poster's question is concerned, I have printed landscape documents, with text and diagrams. I used OpenOffice.org, or the LibreOffice version, and used its own export as PDF function. There are some advantages to using one or the other, it depends on what you're doing. Supposedly, using an export option in a desktop publishing program should give you more control over layout, and maybe more coherent placement of text. Ever tried highlighting and copying text from a PDF? Sometimes it can be impossible to get several paragraphs to copy in a sensible order. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 3.8.13-100.fc17.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon May 13 13:36:17 UTC 2013 x86_64 All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the public lists. George Orwell's '1984' was supposed to be a warning against tyranny, not a set of instructions for supposedly democratic governments. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
