  1. Great app, it works very well. Thank you very much!

  2. I cannot get any audio. I can hear the next audio you uploaded fine.

  3. How do I remove this plugin?? Thanks

  4. No audio??? Too small to see and understand without audio.

  5. Impossible to read what is on the screen – No Audio either. Why not just
    post the Automator Script or are there any restrictions there too? A step
    by step text file would serve just as well.

  6. OK, thanks!!

  7. If you have created an Automator plug-in and if you want to remove it,
    Please “Open Terminal” and delete relevant *.workflow files (each is
    actually a directory, so, use ‘rm -rf’) under “~/Library/PDF Services”.

  8. Sorry, I missed this question until now. That service (or an equivalent
    service) is added by default for all users by Google. It may appear as
    ‘Save to Google Drive’ in your account.

  9. I cannot get the sound on this video. No problem with other You Tube
    Videos. Is there a transcript available?

  10. I cannot see what steps you are doing in the demo to set up cloud print on
    a mac. I downloaded the 3 files and placed them in the library>pdf
    services… then by magnifying the screen I saw that you opened
    automator… and selected print plug in… cannot tell what you are doing.
    don’t want to cause harm while trying to do this. is there a step by step
    description written somewhere? how are others figuring this out?

  11. @0504RR Thanks for the feedback. This is a HD video and you might choose to
    watch it in 720p to view the text better. Upon your suggestion, I have also
    provided the automator workflows in my website. Please visit cloud printer
    support website for instructions and download link.

  12. Somasundaram, great App – thanks for sharing it!! Can I ask how you added
    in the ‘Print to Google Docs’ printer in your Google Cloud Print list? I
    have added my physical printers but can’t see how to get this extra one
    added

  13. This is a HD video and you should be able to view the video in HD if
    YouTube does not select HD by default when viewing this video. I have just
    added a step-by-step guide on setting this up to this video’s information.
    Please click ‘Show More’ above to see if the step-by-step guide is helpful.
    I have also provided instructions to remove the plugin if you do not need
    it anymore.

  14. The video was not made with audio. The steps involved are presented in the
    description section of the video itself. Please press the ‘more’ button if
    you have to. You may also want to switch the quality setting to ‘HD’ to
    view the screen in more detail.

  15. @TheUrsu30 May I know which version of OS X you use? I do not think that
    Apple changed the name of this Automator action recently. Please see if
    copying the automator workflows (using Cloud Printer) that I have in my
    website as mentioned there helps.
