Create PDFs in almost any program in Windows 10


Converting documents, maps and other content to PDF files can make it easier to share them over email. Until now, you had to install a third-party PDF tool to carry out these conversions, but many, such as CutePDF, come crammed with adware, toolbars and other unwanted junk.
Sensibly, Microsoft has built PDF creation into Windows 10. Better still, the feature has been incorporated as a print option, meaning that any program or app that allows you to print will also allow you to create or convert your files to PDF.







Let's say you want to save a web page as a PDF. Simply click your browser's menu button (usually in the top-right corner) and select Print. Then choose 'Microsoft Print to PDF' from the list of available printers. Change any other settings as needed, then click Print. You'll be prompted to give your PDF file a name and choose a location to save it in. Do so and your PDF will be created.
