I don't like the way Preview works.

Adobe Reader disables Print to PDF in its print dialog (and I expect the
same applies to the web browser plugin). You are supposed to use the
Save As command instead (which can be selectively disabled by the author
of a PDF).

That should work fine, in pieces if the document is too large to view in
the window.

You could also install CUPS_PDF which emulates a real printer but
produces PDFs. It will also produce a PDF from applications which
prohibit the "print to PDF" (e.g. Adobe Reader).

I see only six posts from you going back to sometime in June, and this
is the only one which could be considered trollish. However, given that
you decided to poke yourself out like that... done. You are now #11 in
the killfile.

But not before you reveal an inability to resist quoting lots of
totally inconsequential small talk. I heard a theory that this
inability is a major criterion of a troll in the wild, but I do
admit, they are rarely caught and intensively examined.
