CutePDF for Mac or other compatible software

And what does CutePDF do?

You do not need CutePdf to print to a pdf file in OSX, it is a native function.

When you print look in the bottom left of the print dialog and you will see PDF

I bought my first Mac last week, and I also wondered what a ”Mac” solution for CutePDF would be. I googled it, found this thread, and smiled ... ”of course Apple thought of this”.

Yet they failed to include any advanced options for saving as a .pdf and its a huge hastle to change quality or size of the .pdf once saved.

If there is CutePDF for Mac I would like to have the link please. The PDF converter that comes along with Mac is not as good as CutePDF.

There is no version of CutePdf for Mac

Look at: <https://github.com/joshcarr/Apple-Quartz-Filters>

Also search for some PDF compressions utilities. Start with:

<http://www.macupdate.com/find/mac/%2Bpdf%20%2Bcompress>

and if you find anything interesting, report back.

Thanks and I wish they will soon

Thanks, I tried with the link however my word doc of 332kb became 1.9mb after converting so not helpful I guess 😟

So can I 🙂

Without using Cups-PDF.

The point was that I couldn't. Look at the screen shot. The software I have to use will not let you access the regular print menu.

What software?
