PDF
Output to PDF is a plug-in feature that lets you print and save documents from
multiple sources to Adobe PDF. This feature can be used as an alternative to
existing commercial applications for creating PDF documents. Documents
saved as PDF retain their original appearance, and can be viewed and printed
with Adobe Reader on Windows, Mac OS, and UNIX platforms.
For a document using mixed paper sizes, all pages in the PDF use the size of
the first page.
Note: With PDF selected in the PDL Settings dialog box, only a limited set of
driver options are available.
