On Linux, there isnt a virtual pdf printer installed by default, though it is easy to install one by installing the cups-pdf package on Ubuntu. So with this in mind, and knowing that CUPS has this capability and is installed by default on most Linux systems, the gnome print dialog has a 'Print to File' option that exports as PDF, Postscript and SVG. Calligra is also aware of this and provides Print to File options for PDF and Postscript from its print dialog. Not sure how useful it is to pursue this enhancement when it is quite limited in its scope, we provide direct access to pdf exporting, and it would likely involve quite a bit of development. So lets see what devs think about how easy this is to implement. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
