Have you ever wanted to create a PDF of a webpage or document? With Mac OS X, anything that you can print, you can turn into a PDF. So why would you want to save something as a PDF? Say you want to email a Word document to several people, but not all of them have Microsoft Word. You could instead send them a PDF file, thus ensuring that everyone will be able to read it. So, how do you access this feature of Mac OS X? It is actually very simple. Go to “File” and select “Print…”. Within the print dialog box, click on “PDF” and choose “Save as PDF…”. You can do this for virtually anything; it doesn’t have to be just a document.
Another nice feature that Mac OS X has is the receipts folder. If you’ve ever bought anything online, you’ve probably encountered an online receipt where a website instructs you to print it out for your records. While you may still want to have a hard copy, you can also keep a digital copy on your computer. Just go to “File” “Print…” and within the print menu choose “PDF”. Select “Save PDF to Web Receipts Folder”. This will save a PDF version of your receipt to a folder entitled “Web Receipts”, located in your “Documents” folder.
