Can I download and use the cutePDF writer on MacBookPro running Lion?

CutePDF is a windows program so it won't work, but Macs can write a pdf file without it (File>Print>PDF) from any application, will this suffice?

You're welcome

cups pdf is like cute pdf but for mac

https://bitbucket.org/codepoet/cups-pdf-for-mac-os-x/downloads

after installing you need to go to settings, printer, add printer

full instructions here

pdfs go in /Users/Shared/CPS-PDF/{your account name}

This creates a virtual printer just like cute pdf does. This allows pdfs from applications that do not use the mac print interface

What apps? Just curious. Every App I run has the Print/.pdf option.

Thanks

Since I do not have Cute PDF on my MAC, I open the file with Adobe Acrobat Professional and it allows you to do the same thing such as using the typewriter and merging pdf's.

There is no such thing as CutePDF for Mac. Did you really revive this old thread for that?

It was marked as solved three years ago!
