so, a pdf 'printer' basically. anything you print gets dumped to pdf files... which can be previewed, searched, annotated, organized into directories (piles) etc. as well as sent to and shared with others, or even printed on a dead tree.

most of my 'printing' is already done this way.

Actually, yes. And make it compress and process the PDF real slow-like with a bunch of horrible noises that are frightening to pets.

My intent though is to avoid the inclusion of dead trees in this process, but still create an analog for all the horrible inconveniences of printing on dead trees that my older tech support clients argue are features.

it really should just be a print process that inevitably fails with an incomprehensible error code or a demand for money.
