Notes on installing and using 'PDFwriter': an open source PDF printer for OS X. Are available for Mac OS X systems, we've found PDFwriter to be the easiest to configure and use. It will be set to “Generic Postscript Printer”. First, you will need to install Ghostscript. Wherever you install it to, note it down for later, you're going to need it. For the walkthrough, I'm going to say you installed it to the default location, c:gs or in an other folder Once Ghostscript is installed, extract PDFWriter and RedMon. Again, you can extract them wherever you want if you.
In addition to rendering to raster, Ghostscript offers the capability of high-level conversion through our High-level Output API. The Ghostscript high-level output API provides pathways to retain the object-level information. As a result when converting from one format to another, in order to keep the file small and to have searchable/linkable text, Ghostscript retains these objects whenever possible.
For example, when PostScript is converted to PDF, fonts and text are retained and are searchable in the resulting PDF file. In addition vector graphics are retained as well. The resulting PDF file is small, with searchable and linkable text.
Publisher Description

PDFwriter is heavily based on CUPS-PDF. It doesn't use ghostscript to generate PDF files, instead it uses the Mac OS X internal pdf capabilities.
