How to save nearly anything as a PDF

Here is a great feature that is widely unknown and certainly underused in Mac OS X, the ability to print nearly anything into a PDF document. Well, it’s not so much printing into a document as it is saving one, but you get the idea. I can think of a million uses for this, from ensuring cross platform viewing equality, to saving online tutorials and how-to’s for later reading. If you’ve never done this before, it’s extremely easy to do, and here’s how:

• Open the document, webpage, or whatever you want to safe as PDF
• Navigate from the File menu down to “Print”, or hit Command-P
• In the lower left you will see a “PDF” button, click on it and navigate to “Save as PDF”
• Your familiar save window will show up, click save

(Refer to the screenshot below if you are confused)

Now the specified document or webpage will be a regular PDF document, easy to transport, send or archive, and able to view identically across all platforms.
