Abstract
The capability to print to a portable document format (PDF) file is provided in a virtualized computing environment that supports a virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI). Printing-related properties, of local printers coupled to a client device, are provided to a host, so that virtual printers at the host can be configured with the printing-related properties. A simulator may be provided at the host to receive the printing-related properties from the client device and to receive a query from a virtualized computing instance for the printing-related properties, instead of the query being directly sent to the client device.
