3.print from application
open the application you want to print from and you should be able to see a virtual pdf printer.
Once you click print using that printer you might be a little surprised to see that it doesn’t ask where to save. It automatically saves the file into a predefined location

4.find the printed file
By default, PDF files are stored in /var/spool/cups-pdf/username/ . The location can be changed in /etc/cups/cups-pdf.conf
