CUPS-PDF 2.4.7 (Default branch)
CUPS-PDF is a PDF writer backend for CUPS. It is designed to produce PDF files in a heterogeneous network by providing a PDF printer on the central fileserver. It will convert files printed to its queue in CUPS to PDF and put them in a per-user-based directory structure. It can execute post-processing scripts, e.g. to allow mailing the results to the user. License: GNU General Public License (GPL) Changes:
PostProcessing scripts get the original username as given to CUPS-PDF as a new 3rd argument. The PPD file now carries an IEEE1284-device ID to enable automatic selection. The exit codes of the backend were corrected to match CUPS' specifications.Image

NAME

       cupsfilter - convert a file to another format using cups filters

DESCRIPTION

       cupsfilter is a front-end to the CUPS filter subsystem which allows you to convert a file to a specific format, just as if you had  printed
       the file through CUPS. By default, cupsfilter generates a PDF file.

OPTIONS

       -D
	    Delete the input file after conversion.

       -U user
	    Specifies the username passed to the filters. The default is the name of the current user.

       -c config-file
	    Uses the named cupsd.conf configuration file.

       -d printer
	    Uses information from the named printer.

       -e
	    Use every filter from the PPD file.

       -i mime/type
	    Specifies the source file type. The default file type is guessed using the filename and contents of the file.

       -j job-id[,N]
	    Converts document N from the specified job. If N is omitted, document 1 is converted.

       -m mime/type
	    Specifies  the  destination  file  type.  The  default file type is application/pdf.  Use printer/foo to convert to the printer format
	    defined by the filters in the PPD file.

       -n copies
	    Specifies the number of copies to generate.

       -o name=value
	    Specifies options to pass to the CUPS filters.
