It worked in OpenOffice at least up to Version 2.4.

Keywords -> regression (unclear if it's our regression or gs's regression) Has this ever worked with LibreOffice builds? Does this currently work with other programs such as gedit?

NOREPRO, as I can't complete the repro steps. Stefan: How can I get the 'PDF Exporter' to show up in LO printer list?

A PDF Converter has to be installed beforehand. This can be done with the "spadmin" program. Choose "New Printer" and then "Connect a PDF converter", check "The default driver" and then paste the command line I have given in this bug report in the next spadmin-dialog. Then click "next" and "finish". Restart Libreoffice to find the PDF converter in the printer list.
Created attachment 112721 [details] dialog window "Choose a command line"

The correct naming is "PDF converter" not "exporter". And this Command line ist not intended to be run in a terminal but to be used as input in the input field of the dialog "Choose a command line" in the "Add Printer" window of the "spadmin" program. Is there any further information which would be useful for you?

Ah, okay. Now I have a clearer picture of what you're trying to do. AFAIK, as of v4.3 the spadmin program has been removed in lieu of the system printing tools: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes/4.3#CUPS.2C_fax_machines_and_spadmin cc: Caolan
Yeah, the custom printer stuff is gone we just use cups now like everything else. e.g. for faxes use fax4CUPS/hylafax and for custom filtering of the print output CUPS-PDF or some other generic app-independent solution (try searching for"cups virtual pdf printer") is indicated
