Description-en: printer driver for PDF writing via CUPS
CUPS-PDF provides a PDF Writer backend to CUPS. This can be used as a
virtual printer in a paperless network or to perform testing on CUPS.
.
Documents are written to a configurable directory (by default to ~/PDF)
or can be further manipulated by a post-processing command.
.
Note that AppArmor prevents outputting PDF documents to non-default
directories so must also be edited,
whenever the above default get changed in .
.
In cases where the system mounts home directories from paths other
than , edit instead.
.
Desktop users might find it simpler to use the Print To File feature
provided by GTK+ and QT or the LibreOffice's Export to PDF feature.
