Printing to PDF converts any document, webpage, or file into a PDF — without physical paper or ink. Every modern operating system includes this feature built-in.
Open any document or webpage. Press Ctrl+P to open the Print dialog. In the Printer dropdown, select Microsoft Print to PDF. Click Print. Choose a filename and save location. Click Save.
Tip: Microsoft Print to PDF is available for any printable file — Word, Excel, images, emails, webpages, and more.
Open the file or webpage. Press Cmd+P. In the Print dialog, click the PDF dropdown in the bottom-left corner. Select Save as PDF. Choose a name and location. Click Save.
Open the document or webpage. Tap Share (the box-with-arrow icon). Tap Print. On the Print Preview screen, pinch outward with two fingers. The preview converts to a PDF. Tap the Share icon again to save or send.
Open the document in Chrome. Tap the three-dot menu. Tap Print or Share → Print. In the printer selector, choose Save as PDF. Tap the Save button.
