Standard part of any app in OS X
Any application that uses Apple's standard printing API in OS X gets to do this.

I'm pretty upset at Adobe. They have long used their increasingly monopolistic market muscles to stall the industry. They put the brakes on Rhapsody and stuck Apple's users with the awful classic Mac OS for years. They've pushed PDF as a standard for all kinds of uses that it's utterly unsuited to and everyone's gone along with it because it's a 500 pound gorilla.

There's a nice taste of schadenfreude seeing Microsoft stuck with Adobe's turn at the monopoly stick for a change, but it's still completely bogus.
