• Button to revert to original desktop image (1.1)
-
• Ability to automatically update the desktop image (1.1)
-
• Feature to change dock to 2D appearance (1.1)

PDF ePrinter
PDF ePrinter is an application which allows you to 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 distributed as freeware. Please review the license included in the Reference Manual for more information about using and redistributing the software package.
PDF ePrinter is no longer being developed as Mac OS X has built-in PDF generation support.
System Requirements
• PowerPC-based Macintosh
• System 8.5 or later
• LaserWriter 8.5.1 or later with Desktop Printing
• Minimum 4MB RAM available, 8MB recommended for larger/graphically intense jobs
These applications have been tested with several different configurations, but certainly not all possible. If you have a problem with the software, be sure to check the manual first. If you can't find a solution there, or believe you have found a bug, or would you like to make a feature request, please contact me at mdsw@mac.com. Although every problem report and request will be reviewed, I can't guarantee that I will be able to provide individual support for each.
