I use it all the time for things like printing an order receipt, but not a alalog version, just a digital file that I can keep or delete and no paper wasted. Often PDF files that I have to fill out are locked to print the file only, I print it to a PDF with Cute PDF, and just store it that way.
My first computer was a Vic-20 with a cassette drive for file storage. I knew 16K was not enough ram, so I had the extra memory card to get it up to 32K of RAM. It took forever to load or save a file. I jumped into the Commodore 64 world when the floppy drives were available. 300 baud modem and the world of Fido net.

Chrome offers print to pdf as a built-in, and Windows in general does now too I think. Linux has always had the ability, could even set up a network based fake printer that generates PDF files and sends to email using Linux, Samba (windows file/print server) and some shell scripts. Little more creative scripting and glue code could get you a fax server for sending/receiving faxes.... I set one up for an insurance office, it handled about 80k faxes per year across four phone lines
