wine users - Mar 2011 - Re: Problem: Print to PDF using MS Office

I've downloaded and installed Microsoft's WordView to 
display .doc and .docx files using Wine.  To convert them to .pdf files, I 
downloaded and installed cups-pdf so I can "print" .pdf files.

"PDF" now appears as a printer in WordView running under Wine, but
when I
"print" to it, nothing shows up in Print Status.  "PDF" also
shows up in my
other Windows apps (including Notepad) and doesn't work either.

To make sure the problem's not cups-pdf, I printed to "PDF" from
kate.  The
job showed up in Print Status and created a .pdf file in /home/jerry/PDF.

What else can I do?

Not sure if it's relevant, as I don't use cups-pdf with programs running
under wine, but when I *do* use cups-pdf, it automatically names the pdf 
and puts the file in ~/PDF without asking for any sort of confirmation.

HTH,

David Shaw
