These files are typically produced by the CUPS <CODE>pdftopdf</CODE> filter which handles job ticket generation, imposition, page labeling, scaling, and other formatting options requested by the user. CUPS PDF files are intended for direct consumption by a PDF-capable printer, PDF RIP, or the <CODE>pdftops</CODE> filter.</P> <P>More information will be posted here as the PDF workflow filters are added to CUPS.</P> </BODY> </HTML>
