The CUPS PDF program saves printed PDFs to the ~/PDF
directory from any program.

The output directory can be configured by editing the “Out” directory in /etc/cups/cups-pdf.conf
Matlab/GNU Octave figure save PDF

test.pdf
in your current directory.imagesc(rand(10)) print(gcf,'-dpdf','test.pdf')

This can be accomplished by either
