"PDF-Printer" on amiga or exporting PDF? I am not aware that this is possible but would do be interested. You can print as postscript file and this convert f.e. on windows but that is not amiga-only then. Another problem... at least the software I use to design "printable" documents supports different versions of PDF, not possible on amiga I guess.


Hum? You could do that with Amiga since ages - nothing AmigaOS 4.x specific. Most of my (past) productivity work with my 3.x setups generated Postscript - be it with Wordworth, Pagestream, Draw Studio or Final Writer. Pagestream can generate PDF out of the box.

There are tools and scripts which will make PDF out of this Postscript outputs - of course most (maybe all of them - I can't remember...:-)) need an installed Ghostscript (which is a standard part of all of my AmigaOS setups). Of course the PDF versions will be rather "ancient", but that should be no problem - even the newest Acrobat will read an v1.4 PDF ;-)
