    whats a good PDF creator?

    Guys what would be a good PDF creator to use, that I can create a PDF from any file - including CAD drawings that I do with LibreCAD?

    I would personally use libreoffice and save it as a PDF. Very simple, quick and easy.

    For your drawings, export them as an image, then import into libreoffice.

    The package name is cups-pdf, you can install it by clicking here or by running this command in a terminal:
    Code:
    sudo apt-get install cups-pdf
