PDFwriter overview

PDFwriter is a printer driver for OS X, which will let you generate PDF files by simply printing. PDFwriter is heavily based on, but far superior to, CUPS-PDF. It doesn't use ghostscript to generate PDF files; instead it uses the OS X internal PDF capabilities.

It is a good product, but not working for current macOS versions like Catalina. There is a fork of the project that was further developed: https://github.com/rodyager/RWTS-PDFwriter with the download at: https://github.com/rodyager/RWTS-PDFwriter/releases/download/v1.0/RWTS-PDFwriter.pkg

As I generally "print" to PDF, this is useful as I don't have to go each time to the submenu and select "save as pdf", once I set it as my default printer. One great addition would be to open automatically the destination folder in the Finder, once printed: I do that with Hazel — I suppose it can be done also with a lauchagent.
