IS&T is working on a workaround for saving files to PDF from Citrix Apps, though none is available at this time. Users who need to print to PDF should remain on 11.3.2 or use desired app in a IS&T virtual machine. Print in 11.8.2. Select FilePrint. Select your printer from the drop down; Your file will print. Print in 11.3.2. Select FilePrint. Select your printer from the drop down; In the Mac Print Dialog Box, verify your settings to print to a printer, or select the pdf button to. Fixed issues in Citrix Receiver for Mac 12.3 Compared to: Citrix Receiver for Mac 12.2 Citrix Receiver for Mac 12.3 contains all fixes that were included in Versions 12, 12.1, 12.1.100, and 12.2, plus the following, new fix: If Citrix Receiver for Mac is configured to use a proxy server, Secure Socket Layer (SSL) connections can fail. It must never be removed from the XenApp server. Mac clients cannot use the advanced Citrix Universal Print Driver because this driver is based on the Windows Enhanced Metafile Format (EMF) to process and spool documents. In instances where the HP Color LaserJet PS driver does not work with a specific print device, driver mappings might be used.
Printing in Citrix Receiver 11.8.2 has changed from the previous IS&T distributed version, 11.3.2. In 11.3.2, when initiating a print job, a dialog box would prompt in the Citrix App, followed by another, Mac OS print dialog box. While many users use this function for saving files to PDF within the Mac OS print dialog, this was considered redundant by Citrix and has been removed since version 11.4 (see Improved Printing Support note in the What's New section). Users are only able to configure their print jobs while in the Citrix App they are running.

- Save the file to the WIN.MIT.EDU share.
- Save the file to a USB drive, then copy over to the Macintosh hard drive.

- To downgrade from Citrix 11.8 to Citrix 11.3, users should run that Uninstaller that is packaged with the Citrix 11.8 installer.
