First: thanks for zooming in so folks such as Peter who have trouble viewing
videos online can read it to. I had no such problem even without the zoom.
:)

What you did here was write a program that gave you these options. In OS X
darn near ANY program has these options... with the exception of the few,
poorly written / ported programs such as the ones I found which did not
handle files well (precisely two programs have been found so far).

But I can use PDF Services from any browser I know of (just tested even
Firefox which tends to be fairly lousy) and Opera (though you do need to
select the system print dialog - you have a choice). Oh, and Tor browser. :)

It works in Adobe programs and MS programs and the programs of small
developers. It is not a separate program that I can run, it is integrated
throughout the system.

That is a very different thing.
