#Ubuntu ps to pdf pdf
So, what is being suggested here is to have a tool that can drop printjobs to defined directories as CUPS-PDF does but does not convert PS to PDF but manipulates PDF instead. CUPS-PDF is made to convert non-PDF to PDF. I am certain that pdftopdf can be used as a great PDF-manipulation tool - but once again: that is not what CUPS-PDF is made for.Īnd once more: with pdftk one can modify PDFs. This would offer these page manipulations also to Enhance the pdftopdf CUPS filter by adding more page manipulations to Those apply to the pdftopdf filter of CUPS. They are all executed by the pdftopdf CUPS filter and user-Īccessible by the GTK printing dialog (later by the Common Print Use the CUPS options for N-up, reverse order, selected pages, scale.
Furthermore, once again, CUPS-PDF is not meant for processing PDF-input (i.e., it is not meant to be a PDF-manipulation tool).ġ. The reasons for not skipping this step are known to you (it will severly impede the functionality of CUPS-PDF). So a PDF->PostScript ->PDF path is more than awkward. Manipulating the output should be done with other methods: So a PDF->PostScript->PDF path is more than awkward. The PostScript-specific filters will get dropped and so the standard way is to have a workflow with PDF as standard print job format. On the last UDS we have decided to finally deprecate PostScript as the (former) standard print job format, due to the fact that all standard applications send print jobs in PDF format now and that the CUPS filters (in /usr/lib/cups/filter/) are moving from CUPS to OpenPrinting upstream now.
Use pdftk instead of Ghostscript in the cups-pdf backend. This would offer these page manipulations also to queues which print to real printers.ģ. Enhance the pdftopdf CUPS filter by adding more page manipulations to it (patches welcome).
