[Sorry, these are *not* detailed instructions -- they are just general hints for technically-inclined users. If the cmd-line isn't your thing or the description doesn't make sense, I'd suggest waiting to see if the pre-packaged installer will be updated for 10.6]Overall Problem(s): The current (v2.4.6.1) CodePoetry package of CUPS-PDF driver doesn't work under Snow Leopard. After installing the package, the CUPS-PRINTER doesn't even show up in the Printer & Fax system prefs when you select 'Add Printer'. How to make a pdf editable on mac.
Solution step#1: Per the latest CUPS-PDF README, the /usr/libexec/cups/backend/cups-pdf binary must now be chmod'ed 0700 and be chowned by root:wheel. Otherwise, the CUPS-PRINTER won't even show up. Do this and the CUPS-PRINTER should now appear and allow you to add it.

NOTE: While I applaud the CodePoetry author for creating the prepackaged OSX installer, if anyone reading this is going to actually dig this deep to get it to work under Snow Leopard, you might consider just building the original CUPS-PDF driver (it's only a single file) directly from the source. See http://www.cups-pdf.de . The current latest (v2.5.0) worked fine for me using the above techniques. Just don't forget that you need to manually install/edit the cups-pdf.conf file also.
