A standard due to their ease of being opened, shared and read. Nowadays you can open and consult a PDF document from any device , mobile or desktop. But, what if you want to create a PDF document from Word or Excel? Years ago the only solution was to go to the paid version of Adobe Acrobat, which was used to create PDFs from scratch, edit them, etc. But today the process is much simpler. On Mac, creating PDF documents is a feature available by default and on Windows you just need to install one of the many virtual printers available. Let's see how they work.
How to Create PDF Documents on Mac You have created a text document, a spreadsheet, a drawing or a presentation and you want to save it in PDF to share it more easily with your friends, contacts or clients. On Mac, the process is as simple as going to the mobile number list application in which you are viewing or editing the document, but instead of selecting a printer, in the print popup you will see PDF in the bottom left corner . By displaying this menu you can open the PDF in Preview, save the document in PDF, share it via email, Messages or upload it to your iCloud virtual space, etc.
By selecting Save as PDF you will be able to edit the author's name of the document, the title and even encrypt it with a password and thus prevent anyone from opening it or printing it without your permission. How to create PDF documents in Windows On Windows, creating PDF documents is as simple as on Mac. The only difference is that to make this possible you will need to install a virtual printer . Unless you have Windows 10. In that case, you will already have a virtual printer called Microsoft Print to PDF installed . Thus, as we have seen on Mac, from any document editing or viewing program, you only have to go to the Print function and select the printer in question.
