I did indeed use that route when I was working in Win98, but it was cumbersome, and relied on Adobe Reader and occasionally, Foxit, as well as the so-called PDF printer driver. I tried several such drivers and they all worked in a more or less kludgy fashion, but one or two were not bad and generally provided collating and splitting functions, inclusion of image files and the like. My issue is that I need to make *annotations* on existing PDF documents, and none of those drivers had this ability. Previously, I tried it with GS, but found it impractical. With pdftk, I get all necessary collating and splitting, and with PDFedit, not only some of these functions, but also annotation. I really don't see what advantage you are suggesting printing to a PDF file would provide here.
