  "works perfect"

  August 9, 2011  |  

  Version: CUPS-PDF 2.4.6.1

  Pros

  I was looking for a pdf creator that is able to create pdf files in high quality. This does the job because you can adjust the dpi. And it's easy to use.

  Cons

  Puts the output files in a folder on the desktop. Not a big problem for me...

  Summary

  Great tool if the graphics quality of the regular "create pdf" function on your mac is not sufficient.

  "A printer replacement that just works."

  Version: CUPS-PDF 2.4.6.1

  Pros

  Easy to install and simple to use as an option to "save as PDF".

  Cons

  The default save location is in the non-Mac unixy location of /var/spool/cups-pdf which is just so geeky.

  Summary

  Switch hats to sysadmin to get this to work and you will not be disappointed. A good step by step to edit the config file is here:

  Pros

  None - it doesn't work.

  You have to be a freaken programmer to get it work - it sends PDFs to nowhere.

  "It does what it says but..."

  November 11, 2009  |   By forthex_low

  Version: CUPS-PDF 2.4.6.1

  Pros

  it works and little to simple for my needs

  Cons

  At first look I cant figure out how to customize where I want to save the file.
  I tried this because MACs installed PDF app make the files rather large. Im looking for something like what I use on my PC (pdf995) best thing out there in PC world.

  Summary

  other than that I guess its an good program
