Printing from iOS (to a PDF) using Mountain Lion
In the past I’ve written about using AirPrint on iOS to print to a PDF or a printer connected to your Mac. The process of setting it up was quite a bit of manual work, so I’ve updated the instructions when an alternative became available.
After upgrading to Mountain Lion the printer sharing stopped working and I had to look for an alternative (again). Two easy ways to print and create PDFs from iOS are
- handyPrint (formerly AirPrint Activator, donationware)
- Printopia (USD 20)
In the past I’ve used AirPrint Activator, but have now switched to Printopia for the simple reason that I own a license from MacUpdate Promo. Both tools have a demo so try them for yourself.

Great volume of work put in this article. I was looking for some material to work with about this for a presentation that i need to do next week, so my question is ok to use some info and put the blog as the source ? Thanks a lot, Flori

Thanks!
As long as you give me credit and link to the post (if you put your presentation online) it’s fine.
Glad I could help.
