Any Document To .pdf
Portable Document Format, or .pdf, is my favourite filetype to send to others when I want to show them a document, and I care about formatting, filesize and compatibility. Your Mac comes with Preview, and Windows users can download a multitude of .pdf readers like Foxit Reader and Acrobat to read .pdf’s.
To make a .pdf in almost any Mac application:
1. In the Title bar, click File>Print
2. In the popup window, click the PDF button
3. Choose a location, name your document and save. You can even insert keywords and the like, if you’re cool like me.
4. If you want, you can preview the document in preview without saving it, or email the .pdf right from this prompt. Pretty rad if you ask me!

That is definitely my most used function on my mac and the thing I miss the most when I go to work and use a PC. It is definitely rad!
