About RWTS PDFwriter
RWTS PDFwriter is a print driver for macOS that lets you print documents directly to a PDF file. It offers similar functionality to CutePDF on Windows.
Once it is set up, you pick it as your printer in any app and the PDF it produces is saved to a folder you chose. Other users on the same Mac can create their own destination folder, and the installer is a universal build for both Intel and Apple Silicon.
Highlights
- Print from any app to a PDF file using the PDFwriter printer
- PDFWriter Utility app for choosing the destination folder
- Each user on the Mac can set up their own print destination
- Universal build for Intel and Apple Silicon Macs
- Based on Lisanet PDFWriter, which was in turn based on CUPS-PDF
