Yager\n\nAn OSX print to pdf-file printer driver\n\n### [![](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rodyager/RWTS-PDFwriter/master/build/PDFwriter.iconset/icon_256x256.png \"Click to download installer pkg\") Click to download the installer pkg](https://github.com/rodyager/RWTS-PDFwriter/releases/latest/download/RWTS-PDFwriter.pkg)\n\n## About RWTS PDFwriter\n**RWTS PDFwriter** is an OSX 11.0+ compatible print driver that enables you to \u201cprint\u201d your documents directly to a pdf file. It has similar functionality to [CutePDF](http://www.cutepdf.com) on Windows. \n\nThe provided installer installs a universal binary compatible with both Intel and Apple Silicon processors. \n\n## Installation and Usage Instructions\nDownload the installer package by clicking on the printer icon above and install as usual. The installer will open the **PDFWriter Utility** app which lets you create a destination folder for the PDFs you print. (You need to Quit the Utility after creating the destination folder to complete the installation.)\n![Utility Image](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rodyager/RWTS-PDFwriter/master/build/README.rtfd/Utility.png)\n\nOther users can access this utility to create their own print destination from the ` Options \u0026 Supplies ` button for the printer in ` System Preferences \u003e Printers \u0026 Scanners  `\n![Printer Image](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rodyager/RWTS-PDFwriter/master/build/README.rtfd/Printer1.png)\n![Options and Supplies Image](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rodyager/RWTS-PDFwriter/master/build/README.rtfd/Printer2.png)    \nAfter installation, your new printer will be ready for use.\n\n### Usage\n\nSimply print your documents using **PDFwriter** as your printer. \n\nThe \u201cprinted\u201d PDF files produced will be stored in the directory you created on installation.   `\n\n\n## Removal instructions\nIf you want to uninstall **PDFwriter**, open the **PDFWriter Utility** (see above)and click the button to reveal the ` uninstall ` script.
