I'm trying to print, in a pdf file, just one page from another large pdf file. Does anyone have a clue? I'm using foxit reader, and when I try ctrl+P appears just the installed printers as an option to print. There is no print to file button like in other programs such as libreoffice. Thanks in advance.
The virtual PDF printer is no longer available. It was based on cups-pdf. Since 18.04 it is gone. No error message. Just disappeared in GUI for printer control. Worked fine before the upgrade.
New install of cups-pdf is possible but does not help. It tells:
[...]
Note, selecting 'printer-driver-cups-pdf' instead of 'cups-pdf'
printer-driver-cups-pdf is already the newest version (3.0.1-5).
[...]
But not a trace of PDF printer functionality in the gui printer setup. Applications do no longer show the cups-pdf "printer".
Question: How can I get the (cups-) pdf back in 18.04? Is there a workaround?
I'm after a virtual printer which takes each page of "printed" output and converts into multiple images (one image for each page)... eg. .jpg, or .png, etc..
I'm specifically looking for something to work with Open-Office Writer, but I assume that such a virtual printer would work across the board for any app which can send its output to a "printer".
Is there such a thing in the Ubuntu repository?
PS. I want one "normal" picture image per page.. ie Many images are output.
...(like the Snagit virtual printer in Windows)
