Most computers are equipped with a driver to allow saving webpages and other documents to a PDF format.
Depending on your computer's setup, you should be able to use the "Print" Function to save anything to a PDF. This is helpful when you need to save a uniform design that you built on a website.
Follow these steps:
- Open the File/Webpage: Open the document you want to save as a PDF in its native application (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc.).
- Access the Print Function: Go to "File" and then "Print" (or use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+P).
- Choose a PDF Printer: Select "Print to PDF" or "Adobe PDF" from the printer options (if available). There may also be a button on the Print dialog box itself saying "Save to PDF"
- Initiate Printing (Save): Click "Print" (or "Save" depending on the application) to save the file as a PDF.
- Name and Save: A dialog box will open where you can choose a location, file name, and then click "Save".
If these options do not work, please contact the Help Desk and ask them to verify your computer has a PDF printer option. They may need to install software to make this function work.
