How to Print to PDF in Windows 10
We have always had workarounds to convert documents and web pages to PDFs, but Windows 10 has simplified the process and eliminated the need for third-party applications by building in Microsoft Print to PDF. Essentially, this new feature comes pre-installed as a virtual printer on your computer. Instead of printing on paper, the output of this “printing” will be a PDF document saved somewhere on your computer that you can store or share. This tutorial explains how to use Microsoft Print to PDF in Windows 10.
Arguably the best part of this feature is that it is available EVERYWHERE.
