I remember there was a nice feature in KDE 3*, it was possible to print as pdf, or to print as pdf to email...
This is a really nice function.

It is a nice way to simply and quickly extract some pages from a big document.... a directly send it

Personally I'm missing this function, because I'm often sending only 1 page from a 3 or 5 page document via email, to a fax connector...

The ability to print to pdf is in the print dialog box, where you can choose your printer. It works for anything you care to print.

Yes, but I asked for print pdf to email....

The ability to print a document, and to open the generated pdf directly in kmail for sending it...

I think it's one of those functionalities not carried thru to Kde4

I don't think that has ever been possible. I don't even think it is desirable. Print to pdf and attach it - that way the recipient can decide when to view it.

updated highlighted option to correct one

That is the printer dialog. The current dialog also has that ability, but it doesn't email the pdf which is what appears to be requested.

arghhh!! I highlighted wrong option, meant to highlight one above "mail pdf file" (re-posted pic)

Hmm - I don't recall ever seeing that before, but then I didn't look for it, so that isn't necessarily significant. I wonder if it is actually part of the printer driver? Speculation, in that it seems to me that it's not dissimilar to printing to fax, which hplip gives me. Other than that, I've no idea. Sorry.

I recall seeing that before, and google has provided the proof...
It was a nice feature...
