Save as -> PDF

If you don't have this option, you can download a utility that allows you to print to a PDF. Search for "PDF printer". After install, you print as normal, but select the utility as the destination. When you print, it will open save options for your PDF.

...or switch to a Mac to have this capability built into the print function for any document ;)

Another option: Save to Google Doc. Then export as PDF.

This generally works on Windows as well, assuming you have a decent PDF program installed. I see "Adobe PDF", "Nitro PDF", and "Microsoft Print to PDF" in the dropdown list of printers when I go to print from any program. That last one may come with modern versions of Windows since I don't think I installed it.

I'm also all for switching to Macs.

Just because it has some additional powerful features, such as save to TIFF, JPG, and other graphic formats, at various resolutions and bit depths, I'm a fan of BullZip.

Doesn't hurt that it is free for personal use, and is free from adds, nagging or other payloads. Good stuff.

Go to File>Print and you should see a "PDF" button or option in the Print Dialogue box, or it may say, "Save as PDF". Or click on the "PDF" button mentioned in the first sentence and you may see a "Save as PDF" button. Click "Save" and SAVE IT WHERE YOU CAN FIND IT! (That's a warning and joke, folks!)

At least that's how it works with a Mac.

MS Windows, more recent versions.

From Word

File/Print
In the Print screen, Change printer name to "Microsoft Print to PDF"

Wow, if you equate the superiority of a Mac over Windows to that of Shimano over Campagnolo, I definitely have to give Shimano a try one of these days :banana:
