Previously, we looked at how to install custom QuickLook plugins, so we can preview more kinds of file types using this awesome feature of Mac OS X Leopard.
Today we will learn how to automate this process of copying a file into a certain location. So we only need to click the file, select the action and it’s installed.
In recent posts we talked about QuickLook, which allows you to instantly preview a file, without having to open it in an application.
However, there are file types, that can’t be previewed with the standard installation of Leopard.

The PDF file format is the de facto standard for document exchange on the internet. So you probably came across it already (manuals, instructions, etc.). In Mac OS X, PDF creation is built-in into the print dialog. This means that, whenever you can print something, you can also create a PDF from it.
Let’s find out how you can save a document, a web page, an email or anything you can print, as a PDF allowing you to send it to somebody.
In these days more and more stuff can be done online. A lot of services require us to enter personal data, such as address, phone number and email address into some kind of web form.
