+#!/bin/sh
+#
+# This script is intended to be used as a CUPS backend, to create
+# PDF file on-the-fly. Just create a printer using the device uri
+# pdf:/path/to/dir/. When printing to this printer, a PDF file
+# will be generated in the directory specified. The file name will
+# be either "<jobname>.pdf" or "unknown.pdf", depending wether the
+# jobname is empty or not.
+#
+# To use it, simply copy this script to your backend directory, and
+# create a printer with the correct URI. That's it.
