CUPS-PDF is my default printer.
It has all of the needed options to create a PDF file that other
programs would want/  LO has the export to PDF options, but I tend to
use CUPS-PDF for printing web pages and then physically printing only
the sheets that I want.   You can also decide what the file resolution
was to be, including 600 and 1200 DPI and the image quality/compression
that goes into the file.

doPDF is similar, but is for Windows.

There are some big advantages to having a PDF printer installed, even
with LO's export to PDF.  I use both equally when I need a PDF file from
a LO document.

As for ps2pdf - I thought you needed a .ps file to start with.  Could be
wring, but that was what I was told years ago.

Hi.
I think cups-pdf does what ps2pdf does, may be a few more options.

Hi :)
Yes, i don't see the point of the extra program either.  I can "print
to file" and then usually have a choice between Pdf and PS.  I don't
see what else those other programs are offering.

I'm curiosity what is freeware virtual pdf printer?

It's a program which, when installed, appears in your list of
printers.  But there is no physical printer. Instead, when you use
the virtual printer - through the print dialogue in the usual way -
the program creates a PDF document representing what would have been
printed.  The advantage here is that you can test the Brochure
facility without wasting paper.

my distro OPENSUSE 12.3 with KDE 4.10, ...

I can't speak for this platform.  Try doing a search for PDF virtual
printer.  Does this earlier message in this thread help:

I trust this helps.
Hi.
The standard KDE printer dialogue allows you to print to PDF as
standard. It is the top selection above your printers.
My LO print dialogue is different, but on the last tab has print to
file, if PDF is set in device options then it is as PDF, I need to have
a printer configured though that gives an A3 paper option.
