Printing to PDF

When is printing not printing?

One of the most useful features found on any computer must be the ability to make PDF files without installing any extra software. Why would you need a PDF document? It’s a great back up tool. For example: you book a ticket online and you need to print off a copy. You can also save a PDF version of the ticket as a “just in case” version.

Here’s how:

  1. When you need to print, press File > Print (or cmd + PB).
  2. In the bottom left corner, click on the PDF button.
  3. Choose “Save as PDF…”
  4. Find a place to save it.

I personally like to PDF all important things like e-tickets, tax – returns, and any other important documents and then email them to myself as the ultimate backup.
