I use an application that should produce a .pdf (and in fact it does, in Windows). Unfortunately I've got no way to see that file. The printing process apparently starts, and the pdf-file option is accepted, but no file is produced at all (searched with find -mmin). The pdf-cups alternative also proves ineffective. My guess is that the current wine installation lacks some library, which is used to produce the pdf file. Apparently people with Acrobat Professional installed are successful in printing to pdf, but the alternative is quite expensive. Any help, please? I'm forced to provide pitiful screenshots...
No where near enough information for us to help you. cups-pdf historically has worked quite well with wine. Problem we have here. Number 1 you did not tell us the application. So we cannot look it up in appdb. Number 2 you did not tell us the wine --version you are using. Number 3 http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ run from terminal/console and see what messages wine prints out when printing is attempted. If its a missing library wine will be yelling on the console that its not there. Very clearly. Does cups-pdf on you system work from native applications. It can be configured to drop files in strange places. I have had that before where person say they cannot find the files it printing. Also running printers inside wine is highly suspect. Some applications install a PDF printer for producing pdf. This can be a problem. Basically please in future don't expect us to be mind readers.
