While most programs do not have the built-in ability to save files in a .pdf format, there is plenty of software available on the internet which can make this possible. The software is usually referred to as a .pdf printer, because instead of making one program able to save a .pdf file, it sets itself up on your computer as a printer you can choose from any program
If you have an Apple Computer (Mac, iMac), then you don't need to install anything extra. Simply select to print a file on an Apple computer, and the dialog box that appears will also have an option to save a copy of the file as a .pdf on to your computer.

While we are not affiliated with any of these software makers, some of the support team members have made use of the following PDF printers over the years: CutePDF, PDF 995, Bullzip, and primo pdf. To date, all of the mentioned software is free. Some versions will include an ad window that appears, others do not. Despite some of the differences, they all have the same end effect; after installing them, you are able to choose a pdf printer, and have your files saved as a .pdf file. Whichever one you choose, make sure to read and follow the steps to set up the .pdf software; we do not offer technical support on outside software.
Once you have set up the .pdf printer and saved your first .pdf file, the next thing will be emailing it.

For the steps below, we use a generic name, report.pdf, which has been saved to the Desktop.
