PDF Printer

Introduction

A PDF printer is a virtual printer that allows you to "print" documents as PDF files instead of sending them to a physical printer. When you select a PDF printer from the list of available printers on your device, it converts the document into a PDF format and saves it on your computer or chosen location. This is useful for preserving the layout, fonts, and formatting of documents across different devices.

How It Works:

1. Create or open a document (e.g., Word, Excel, webpage, etc.).

2. Select "Print" as if you were printing a physical copy.

3. Choose the PDF printer (e.g., "Microsoft Print to PDF" or third-party software like "Adobe PDF").

4. Click "Print" — Instead of paper, it asks for a save location.

5. Save the file as a PDF.

Common Use Cases:

• Sharing documents where formatting consistency is crucial.

• Archiving files in a non-editable format.

• Converting web pages, forms, or emails to PDF.
