A PDF Printer for Mac OS X

Some applications don't use the built-in print dialog on Mac OS X, which usually means no PDF printing. Fortunately, some kind soul has created a PDF printer that is easily installed on Mac OS X.

Its mechanics are similar to PDF 995 for Windows:
  1. install the virtual printer
  2. print a document to the virtual printer
  3. a PDF file of the printout shows up on your desktop!


I used this tool with CorelDraw 11's print-merge functionality to prepare a hundred pages of personalized invitations. This was a slight bit faster than printing 100 pages and then scanning them!

"... and scanning them"? You could only export to a image format, like 'png', instead of printing and scanning, didn't you?

For the version of CorelDraw I was using, the export feature only outputs to a printer, not to an image or file.
