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
Step 1
2. In the popup window, click the PDF button
Step 2
3. Choose a location, name your document and save. You can even insert keywords and the like, if you’re cool like me.
Step 3
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!
