## What it is
RWTS PDFwriter is a macOS print driver that lets users 'print' any document directly to a PDF file, similar to CutePDF on Windows. It ships as a signed installer package with a utility app for configuring PDF output destinations.

## Use cases
- print documents to pdf on mac
- save any file as pdf from the print dialog
- macos alternative to cutepdf
- create pdf output folder for printed files
- install a pdf printer driver on apple silicon

## When to choose
- you need a system-wide print-to-pdf printer on macOS 11+
- you want per-user configurable PDF output directories
- you need Intel and Apple Silicon support in one installer

## When to avoid
- you only need to convert a few files to PDF without printing
- you are on Linux or Windows
- you need PDF editing or manipulation features
