PDF ePrinter is a software utility that lets you convert almost anything you can print into a Portable Document Format (PDF) file.

Using the LaserWriter or StyleWriter printer drivers, the PDF ePrinter application "captures" the spooled print job and, based on your settings, converts it to a PDF file.

Some of the things you can control in the output PDF file include:
· Creation of an outline tree (bookmarks), both automatically and through embedded commands
· Viewer settings
· Links within a document and to web sites
· File and image compression
· Transition effects and slide show settings
· Thumbnails
· Assembly of multiple jobs into one PDF file
· Embedding of TrueType and Type 1 fonts (with built-in tools for converting to the required formats)

All of the settings for a job can be saved as a template to reuse. The entire printing and conversion process can also be controlled from AppleScript®.

PDF ePrinter is no longer being developed as Mac OS X has built-in PDF generation support.

Requirements:

· PowerPC-based Macintosh
· LaserWriter 8.5.1 or later with Desktop Printing
· Minimum 4MB RAM available
· 8MB recommended for larger/graphically intense jobs
