How to Print a PDF From Your iPhone in a Few Quick Taps

You can easily make or print a PDF file in iOS from apps like Safari, Google Chrome, Gmail and Outlook.

The iPhone 13 Pro and Pro Max.

We use our phones for nearly everything, which means you might need to print documents from your mobile device occasionally. Whether it's a work-related report or a new recipe, sometimes it's just easier to read a hard copy rather than a digital file on your phone's tiny 6-inch screen.

Printing from your iPhone is simple, as long as you're connected to a printer that's compatible with AirPrint. Check out this support page on Apple's website for a list of printers that work with AirPrint. You can access the printing option in most email and web browser apps just by clicking the share button in iOS. You can also save a website or email as a PDF in the iPhone's Files app from this menu, too.

Here's how to print or save web pages and emails as PDFs on your iPhone. 

How to print or save a web page as a PDF on your iPhone

First, open the website you'd like to print in your phone's web browser.

Then, tap the Share button. In most apps, this looks like a square with an arrow pointing up, as shown below. You can find this symbol on or near the search bar in Apple's Safari browser and in Google Chrome. In some apps, like Mozilla Firefox, you may need to tap a menu icon that looks three dots to find the Share option. 

Tap the Share button to get started when printing a webpage on your iPhone.

Next, select Print. This will pull up the iPhone's print options screen, which lets you choose which printer you'd like to use and the number of copies to print among other settings. 

The Print button in iOS lets you print a document using a compatible printer.

Press the Print button from the print options screen to send your document to the designated printer.

Press the Print button to print out your document from your iPhone.

If you want to save the website as a PDF instead, long-press the document preview displayed below the print options.

Press and hold on the page above to access the Share menu in print preview mode. 

This will enlarge the selected page in preview mode. Once enlarged, tap the document page to view the full file in preview mode. Then press the Share icon. 

Press this button to launch the Share menu.

And finally, choose the Save to Files option from the list.

Press this button to save the document as a PDF. 

How to print or save an email as a PDF on your iPhone

Open the email you'd like to print and press the Print button. In Apple's Mail app, tap the arrow near the bottom of the screen and scroll down to the Print option. In Gmail, tap the button that looks like three dots located in the sender line and then choose Print. In Outlook, you'll also need to press an icon that looks like three dots near the top of the screen and press the Print Conversation option. 

The Print Conversation button in the Outlook email app for iOS.

From here, the steps are the same as printing a web page. Tap the Print button in the top right corner after choosing your desired print settings from the available options.

Tapping the Print button will send this Outlook email to the designated printer.

If you want to save the email as a PDF on your phone, long-press the document preview to enlarge it. Then, tap this enlarged preview to view the full document in preview mode.

Long-press the page above to enlarge it, and then tap it again to open the full file in a PDF preview.

Press the Share icon, which is located in the bottom left corner.

The Share button is located near the bottom of the screen.

Press the Save to Files option.

Press this button to save the email to the Files app. 

And that's all there is to it. For more iPhone advice, check out this list of settings you should change and tips for improving the reading experience on your iPhone .

The hidden way to print to PDF on iPad and iPhone

Although it's possible to lug a tiny printer with you wherever you go, it's not particularly practical. Most of us don't print enough from our phones or tablets for mobile printing to be a consideration. But what if you need to save a printout, and you don't have a printer?

• How to better organize text messages on your iPhone, thanks to iOS 17
• How to transfer data from Android to an iPhone: 2 simple and fast ways
• How to turn on 80% charging limit on the iPhone 15 to save battery health
• How to leave a FaceTime voice or video message when your call goes unanswered

For example, let's say you've completed a financial transaction, and you have the option to print the receipt. Many sites that offer a print option don't offer any sort of Save to PDF function. If you're on a PC or Mac, that's a relatively easy option to find.

But if you're on an iPad or an iPhone, all iPadOS or iOS presents to you is the Print button. As we've established, that Print button is less than useful when you don't have a printer.

Fortunately, as long as you're using iOS or iPadOS 15 (or later), there is a way. It's oddly obscure, but it's there.

I'm working on an article about using the iPad as the ultimate coloring book, and I wanted to import a PDF. As it turns out, Crayola (the crayon company) has a bunch of printable coloring book pages. One such page is this NASCAR image. I'm all about fast cars, so I wanted to download it.

But, as you can see, a typical printer dialog box opens up when I hit the Print Now button. In this case, I have no printer selected, but if you click on Printers to select a printer, there's no way to print to a PDF.

The hidden trick

Here's the hidden trick. As I said, you must be running iOS or iPadOS 15 for this to work. Now, rather than just tapping the blue Print prompt, press and hold it. At this point, the hidden share card pops up:

Choose Save to Files. You can save to iCloud or On My iPad. I chose On My iPad and then pointed the file to the folder where I'll be using it. You can save the PDF anywhere you wish.

I have to wonder why this feature is hidden. Why isn't there a share icon? How is someone supposed to know they need to press and hold Print unless they read an article like this?

Did you know about this trick? Have you wanted to be able to do something like this without purchasing and installing an add-on app? Let us know in the comments below.

How to print a paper copy or a PDF from an iPhone or iPad

Ios with airprint and print to pdf provide very convenient options for your document handling needs.

By Umar Shakir , a news writer fond of the electric vehicle lifestyle and things that plug in via USB-C. He spent over 15 years in IT support before joining The Verge.

Share this story

Printing is all but dead in this all-digital world, but there are still some things you can’t easily digitize: shipping labels, flyers for a bulletin board, printing out an email for your boss, and sticking prank memes in your colleagues’ cubicles. And in this era of doing almost everything on your phone, it’s good to have the option to print from it instead of needing to jump onto a computer.

Apple has succeeded in building one of the easiest methods of printing from a smartphone by getting many printer manufacturers to adopt its AirPrint wireless printing feature. Apple also has a really easy way to create PDF documents instead of a traditional print copy — if you know how to get to it. In this article, we’ll show you both.

Printing with AirPrint

It’s important to note that printing via AirPrint may not support all of the printers’ features, but you likely will get options for: number of copies, range, paper size, orientation, scaling, and other basic functions.

To begin, you’ll need to have access to a wireless or networked printer that supports Apple’s AirPrint driverless printing system . If you don’t have a printer yet, check out how to choose the right one . If you’ve purchased a wireless printer in the past five years (or even up to 10 years in the case of HP), chances are that it supports AirPrint already. Some printer manufacturers might also include an app that can print files from your device or through its own cloud service, but these usually aren’t as easy or nice to use as AirPrint.

Next, make sure your iPhone and printer are connected to the same wireless network. If your printer has an ethernet port, you could alternatively connect it directly to your wireless router with an ethernet cable and still have the ability to AirPrint from your iPhone. In enterprise environments, you may need to have your IT department open up the feature to allow printing from your iPhone.

Okay — now it’s time to print something:

• Open up what you would like to print: an email or email attachment, a website in Safari, a file in the Files app, a photo, etc.
• Tap the Share button to open the share sheet, then scroll down and tap the Print button. Some apps may have the Print button elsewhere. For example, to print an email message in the Mail app, you need to tap the Reply button, then find Print at the bottom of the reply options list.
• On the Print Options screen that appears, select a printer if there isn’t a default option already.
• You can now choose the range of pages you’d like to print, amount of copies, enable double-sided printing, and various other printing options.
• Tap Print , and off it goes!

You can see the print queue / order status by pushing upward from the bottom of the screen (iPhone with Face ID or iPad) or by double clicking the home button (iPhone with Touch ID) to get to the App Switcher. You can also cancel the print here if it hasn’t been completed yet.

Print to a PDF file

It’s amazing how a useful feature like printing to PDF is treated like an Easter egg in iOS — especially since macOS has had an easy-to-see Save as PDF option for years. There’s no button in iOS to print to a PDF; instead, you zoom into the document to get the option, here’s how:

• Using the above instructions, get to the Print Options screen for the file or page you want to convert to PDF (see instructions above).
• Pinch into the preview of the printable document as if you want to zoom in on it. It will fly at you like entering a new video game stage.
• Now you have the document open as a PDF. You can scroll between pages, zoom, and search text on this screen, all to confirm the document you want looks correct.
• Tap on the Share button on the bottom left.
• Select Save to Files to specify where you want to save the document or choose another app to send it directly to someone, such as Mail, Messages, or AirDrop.

Troubleshooting, how to save webpage as pdf using safari on iphone & ipad.

Are you looking to save a webpage or multiple webpages as PDF files to your iPhone or iPad? There are many reasons you might want to do this, perhaps you’re wishing to save a webpage receipt as a PDF for record keeping, to archive a page, or to access a web page offline. Fortunately, Safari makes it easy to convert webpages into PDF files.

The ability to create PDF from webpages in Safari was first introduced with the release of iOS 11. However, the steps needed to access the same has been slightly tweaked if you’re running a newer version of iOS like iOS 15, iOS 14, and iOS 13. The advantage of having PDF files of webpages is that they can be viewed even when you’re not connected to the internet and they can also be easily printed out. Plus, you can share it with your colleagues along with other files. So let’s check out creating a PDF from a webpage by using Safari on iPhone or iPad.

How to Save Webpage as PDF with Safari on iPhone & iPad

The following steps are applicable if your iPhone or iPad is running iOS 13/iPadOS 13 or later. On the other hand, if your device is running an older software version, you can follow this method instead .

That’s all you needed to do. You’ve successfully saved the current webpage as a PDF file on your iOS/iPadOS device.

The “Save to Files” option will only show up in the share sheet if you’ve selected the PDF format from the Options menu. This setting will be reset once you exit the share sheet. So, if you’re looking to save multiple webpages, you’ll need to repeat the above steps for each one of them.

If you’ve saved the PDF file in an iCloud Drive directory, it’s worth pointing out that the file will be accessible from all your other Apple devices as well, provided you’re signed into them with the same Apple account.

The saved webpage can then be shared as a file from the Files app instead of a webpage, which can then be viewed even offline by the recipient. The PDF file will follow the format of “Safari – (Date of Creation) – (Time of Creation).pdf”, but you can easily rename it according to your preference within the Files app .

Keep in mind that if the webpage had ads or other page styling, the downloaded PDF files will also show those ads or page styling. However, if you don’t want that kind of stuff in your saved PDF, you can switch to reader view in Safari and then follow the same steps to save it without any ads, page clutter, or styling elements.

Did you convert any webpage to a PDF file, or save webpages as a PDF file to your iPhone or iPad? What is the purpose you use this feature for? Do you use another approach? Let us know your experiences and thoughts in the comments.

This is really helpful, thank you.

This technique does not work with all webpages. Some webpages do not allow saving or printing.

Whilst this works, 1) It only includes a single page. 2) Margins are blotting out key page content.

I am on Android for the past 4 years but if memory serves me correct you can: expert > print > ping OUT on the print preview > export there > do whatever you want.

Hey, this is really useful! Thanks! I have previously used the method of printing to PDF, then reverse pinch, tap the share box on that one & save. Which works about as well (maybe in all apps that can print), but so very not-obvious.

How to print to PDF on iPhone, iPad, and Mac

Print to PDF is an easy way to preserve the information and layout of what you are currently viewing, saving a 1:1 digital copy of the documents and websites you use everyday. You don’t actually print anything, but the idea is that an exact replica of what would have appeared on paper, if you had sent a job to a real printer, is instead stored as a PDF file.

A big advantage of Print to PDF, or Save to PDF as it is often known, is that it is available in a lot of apps by default. Apps don’t have to support PDF output, they just have to support the normal printing features. This means Save to PDF is widely available across many iOS apps, and even more Mac apps.

The concept of Print to PDF began on the desktop and macOS exposes the feature relatively prominently. On iOS, the feature is harder to find. There isn’t an obvious button in the interface for it, but the capability is there — if a little hidden. Read on for step-by-step instructions to print to PDF on Mac, iPhone and iPad …

Of course, if an app includes PDF export features natively, use those inbuilt features instead of the print to PDF workaround. Pages, Numbers and Keynote include official features to save documents as PDF files, for example.

However, there are many apps that don’t offer features like this … and this is where print to PDF shines. More apps than you might think expose printing features, especially on iOS. This is because the market for real AirPrint printers is large, and apps that support AirPrint get ‘Save to PDF’ functionality for free.

Just looking at system apps, Apple includes Print functionality in Mail, Photos, Notes, Maps and Safari. Support for AirPrint across third-party apps is generally good, particularly those meant for productivity. On the Mac, printing is universally available.

How to print to PDF on Mac

From macOS, open any app that supports printing. This could be an Office document in Preview, a Keynote deck in iWork, an email message from Mail, or countless other examples. For our example, we’ll save a website to PDF using Safari.

• Click Print from the File menu in the menubar, to reveal the modal sheet.
• Preview the formatting and margins as you would for a normal print job.
• Select the page range you want to save and adjust any of the other options. Anything you change here, like printing in monochrome or multiple pages per sheet, will also be reflected when you save it as PDF.
• Press the PDF button in the lower-left corner of the sheet. This reveals a sub-menu of options.

• The most direct ‘Print to PDF’ is the second item in the menu, called Save as PDF.
• Select this to choose a location in the file system and macOS will put a rendered PDF there.
• The other menu options offer some quick shortcuts if you want to include the PDF as an email attachment, send the PDF to a contact with iMessage, or straight to iCloud Drive.

How to print to PDF on iPhone

Printing to PDF from iPhone will work in any app that integrates AirPrint. This is because PDF saving options are hidden inside the normal printing modal interface.

The exact location of the Print button will vary from app to app. Usually, apps that expose a system share sheet include a Print action in the bottom row. Other apps have special menus which reveal a print button.

For example, Mail puts a Print button in the action sheet next to Reply and Forward. Some apps don’t offer any printing support and, in those cases, you are simply out of luck — there’s no way to print (PDF or paper ink) iMessages for example as of iOS 10.

• In an AirPrint compatible app, open the Print UI, revealing the standard system sheet.
• Customize the rendering options as desired, such as selecting monochrome output. A preview of the document will appear below these controls.
• On an iPhone that supports 3D Touch — applicable to iPhone 6s or iPhone 7 — press firmly on the preview to make it expand and fill the screen. On an older iPhone without a pressure-sensitive display, perform a pinch-out gesture instead. This means placing two fingers on the page thumbnails, and spreading your fingers apart from each other.
• In full screen preview mode, tap the screen once to reveal the toolbar with the Share button.
• Tap the Share button in the lower left corner of the screen. This reveals the system share sheet, displaying a variety of actions for saving the PDF based on the apps you have installed on your phone.
• To save as PDF, select the Add to iCloud Drive action. This will save a copy of the printout as a PDF in your iCloud document storage, which you can then import into other apps.

How to print to PDF on iPad

As they share an operating system, the steps for printing to PDF on iPad are very similar to the iPhone. These instructions are included for sake of completeness. The main difference here is finding the Print buttons in the first place as iPad and iPhone apps often have very different interfaces. From there the steps are basically identical.

• Pinch outwards on the preview area. A pinch out gesture means putting two fingers close together and then spreading them apart. This will expand the preview to fill the screen.
• In full screen preview mode, tap the screen once to reveal the toolbars.
• Tap the Share button in the toolbar at the top-right of the screen. This presents the system share sheet with export options corresponding to the apps you have installed.
• To save the PDF as a file in iCloud, choose the Add to iCloud Drive button. This will save a copy of the PDF in your iCloud Drive folders, which you can then import into other apps (for example, use as an attachment in Mail) as you wish.

Save to PDF is a really useful trick to keep in your arsenal. On the Mac, it helps that apps almost always expose printing actions under the File menu. On iOS, it’s a bit more involved to find where each different app exposes its UI to open the AirPrint interface. Once you find it, though, the iPhone and iPad steps above are the same for every app.

iOS: How to Print to PDF from Any App on iPhone and iPad

Have you ever wished you could print a web page to a PDF for sharing or later viewing? If so, you will be happy to learn that it’s totally possible to do that from your iPhone in any app. Not too long ago, Andrew Orr showed you how to do this from Mail using 3D Touch, but that trick actually works from any app, as of iOS 8. Even better, you don’t need 3D Touch or a third-party app to make it work. Just using the built-in Share Sheet, you can print to PDF in any app.

Print to PDF From Any App

This trick relies upon a hidden feature of the Share Sheet. To print from any app, such as Safari, you begin by tapping the Share icon. Next, tap the Print icon from the bottom row of the Share Sheet. Depending on what you’ve enabled, you might have to scroll to the right to find it. Now, to access the PDF view, simply 3D Touch or pinch to zoom out in the preview area of the PDF.

With that done, you should be in a PDF view of your document, web page, or whatever. Your next step is to share it. Just tap the Share icon, and choose where you want to send your PDF. You can share it via Messages or Mail, or any other app that supports the Share Sheet extensions. Another great option is iBooks, if you want to keep all of your PDFs together, but there’s often a Share Sheet icon already there to do that. You can even save the file to your iCloud drive or Dropbox.

Use This as a Handy Way to Keep Notes

Saving the web pages you’ve visited to PDF is a great way to keep notes when you’re researching. Other options for where to save those PDF files include Evernote and even the built-in Notes app.

How To Print From Safari On iPhone

Are you an iPhone user trying to figure out how to print from Safari? You’re in luck – it’s actually really easy. With the recent iOS 13 and iPadOS update, Apple moved the Print function to the Actions list that sits below the rows of icons. In this article, we’ll walk you through the simple steps of printing a webpage from your iPhone using AirPrint.

First off, make sure your printer is AirPrint-enabled. Most newer models are, so check your printer model or its documentation if you’re not sure.

Next, open the app that you want to print from and locate the Print or Actions button. It should be located within the app’s Share Sheet or Action Sheet. Scroll down and tap on it.

From here, select No Printer Selected and choose an AirPrint-enabled printer – if you have multiple printers set up on your network, they will all appear here for selection. Some options may appear at this stage depending on your printer model – make sure to check them out as some may affect how your document is printed.

If everything looks good, select Print at the top right corner of the page and wait for your document to be printed!

We hope this guide has helped you understand how to use AirPrint to print webpages from Safari on your iPhone. If you have any further questions about printing from Safari or other iOS apps, feel free to reach out for help!

Troubleshooting the Lack of Print Option on Safari on iPhone

Since the iOS 13 and iPadOS update, Apple moved the print function to the actions list that sits below the rows of icons in the share sheet. To access this option on Safari, open a web page and tap on the ‘share’ icon at the bottom of your screen. Scroll down through the options until you see ‘Print’. Tap on it and select your printer from the list. You can also customize your print settings before printing out your document.

Troubleshooting iPhone Printing Issues

If your iPhone isn’t giving you a print option, it may be because the app you’re using doesn’t support AirPrint. AirPrint is Apple’s wireless printing solution that allows you to print from an iOS device without having to install additional software. If the app you’re using doesn’t support AirPrint, then you won’t be able to print from your iPhone. To check if the app supports AirPrint, look at its User Guide or Help section. If it does, then make sure your printer is AirPrint-enabled and connected to the same network as your iPhone before attempting to print.

Printing from an iPhone Without AirPrint

Printing from your iPhone without AirPrint is an easy process. First, you’ll need to download a printer app that is compatible with your device. Next, turn on Wi-Fi for both your printer and iPhone. After that, go to the Settings menu on your phone or tablet and select Wi-Fi. Locate your printer under OTHER NETWORKS and tap on it. Now you can pull up the document, image, or webpage you want to print, then hit the Share icon. You should be able to select the printer app from the list of options, and then press Print to start the printing process.

Printing a PDF from Safari on iPhone

To print a PDF from Safari on your iPhone, you’ll need to first save the file as a PDF. To do this, open Safari and jump to the website you’d like to save. Tap the Share button at the bottom of your screen. At the top of the Share Sheet, tap Options > and choose PDF instead of Automatic, then tap Done. Now you can select Copy to PDF Expert to save the entire webpage as a PDF.

Once you have your file saved as a PDF, you can use AirPrint to print it out. Make sure your printer is compatible with AirPrint and is connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your iPhone. Then open up your saved PDF in an app like Files or Adobe Acrobat Reader and select Print from the options menu. Select your printer from the list of available printers and hit Print again to complete the process.

How to Print to PDF on iPhone or Mac

Reading Time: 7 minutes read

Printing to PDF is an easy way of saving information in its original layout. Thinking of it as “printing” helps explain the feature. Although you’re not physically printing anything, printing to PDF saves a file that looks exactly like what would have come out from a real printer. 

The major advantage of printing to PDF is that it makes it easy for your files to be saved and/or shared with someone else. You don’t need special app functionality for exporting to PDF – you’ll notice that Print to PDF (which is also sometimes known as Save as PDF) is usually included by default.

In this guide, we’ll explain just how easy printing (or saving) to PDF on iOS or macOS can be.

How to print to PDF on iPhone or iPad

Every app on your iPhone or iPad that supports printing will also let you print to PDF. Although this is simple once you know how to do it, it’s not always immediately obvious. That’s why we’ve put together this simple step-by-step guide.

For our example, we’re browsing a web page within Safari. You’ll be able to follow the same steps in all apps that support printing.

1. Tap the Share icon. This is the box with an arrow pointing upwards. In Safari, you’ll find it at the bottom of your screen.

2. Tap print

3. View preview You’ll see a small preview first. To take a closer look, use the pinch-out gesture on the preview. Alternatively, you can take advantage of the 3D Touch feature on iPhone 6 or above by tapping and holding your finger down on the document preview to ‘peek’ – then, just press harder to view the document in full. 

4. Tap  the Share icon at the bottom left of the screen Once you’re in full preview, you’ll be able to see this option.

5. Choose where you want to save the PDF  Select whether you’d like to save this to cloud, send via email, or save to another app that is compatible with PDF files.

How to print to PDF on Mac

Using macOS, you can Print to PDF from any app that supports printing. For this example, we’ll once again show how to save a web page within Safari.

1. Click File in the menu bar

2. Click Print

3. Preview   Consider the formatting and margins, just as you would for a normal physical print job 

4. Make any adjustments needed   Select your desired page range, colour style (i.e. monochrome), how many pages per sheet etc. Every change you make here will be reflected in the PDF you save. 

5. Press the PDF button   You’ll find this in the lower-left corner of the window. Clicking this will reveal a sub-menu of options. 

6. Click Save as PDF…

7. Choose a location to save your file

Once you’ve done this, your PDF is saved in your chosen location. If you’re printing to PDF for the purpose of uploading to iCloud, emailing as an attachment, or sending via iMessage, you can save some time by selecting these alternative shortcut options at Step 6.

Considerations when creating PDF in different browsers

The examples we have given have been based on Safari. If you’re using another browser or app, the share button may be located in different locations.

However, as long as the app supports printing, you’ll be able to follow similar steps.

If the app you’re using does not support printing, an alternative is to take a screenshot. If you’re unsure how to do this, Apple offer guides on  how to take a screenshot on a Mac , or  how to take a screenshot on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch (covering different models where methods will vary). This will save what you see on your screen as a photo which you can then send or share.

Use Apple Markup to sign PDF documents

Once you have saved your file as a PDF, you have the option to edit this in Markup

One of the most useful things you can do to PDFs in Markup is sign them. This is very convenient for legal documents – no need for a physical contract.

To sign PDF documents with Apple Markup:

1. Open the PDF

2. Tap Markup   This is the logo that looks like a pen. 

3. Tap +    You’ll find this at the bottom of the Markup interface. 

4. Tap Signature 

5. Sign your name, or choose from saved signatures

6. Perfect your signature’s placement and color   Move it into place by dragging, or resize by stretching or pinching the blue corners. If you want to change ink color, just tap the signature and select one of the color circles that will appear. 

7. Tap Done

Safari won't print to PDF

Safari will not print a page to PDF (whether actually printing or doing a "print" but saving to PDF). In either case, I get a blank page.

When I use Firefox, it works fine. So this is somehow related to Safari.

I saw older posts (3+ years) that said to remove various PDF files from the Internet/Plug-ins folder and the ~\Internet Plug-ins folder. I've done that, but the problem persists.

Running macOS Catalina 10.15.3 and Safari 13.0.5.

Have you Reinstalled the MacOS Yet?:

If this is continuous, then perhaps there is a kernel corrupted, somewhere within the system files -- something particularly related to Safari.

So, rather than restore troubleshoot safari, reinstall the macOS. Nothing would be deleted; it's just that all system files would be configured to how and where they should be.

The intent is to get Safari to load operate from there as intended.

How to print to pdf on mac.

It's easy to save a printable document for later printing or for archival purposes using your Mac. Here's how to do it.

Sometimes you need to print a document, but you don't have a printer available---or you'd like to save it for your records in a stable format that will never change. In this case, you can "print" to a PDF file. Luckily, macOS makes it easy to do this from almost any app.

Apple's Macintosh operating system (macOS) has included system-level support for PDF files for 20 years now since the original Mac OS X Public Beta. The PDF printer feature is available from almost any application that allows printing, such as Safari, Chrome, Pages, or Microsoft Word. Here's how to do it.

Open the document you'd like to print to a PDF file. In the menu bar at the top of the screen, select File > Print.

A printing dialog will open up. Ignore the Print button. Near the bottom of the Print window, you will see a small drop-down menu labeled "PDF." Click on it.

In the PDF drop-down menu, select "Save as PDF."

The Save dialog will open up. Type the file name you'd like and choose the location (such as Documents or Desktop), then click "Save."

The printed document will then be saved as a PDF file in the location you chose. If you double-click on the PDF file you just created, you should see the document the way it would appear if you printed it on paper.

From there you can copy it anywhere you like, back it up, or perhaps save it for later reference. It's up to you.

If you're also a Windows user, printing to PDF on Windows 10 is easy.

Pixelmator Pro Adds Support for Editing Text in PDFs

Pixelmator Pro 3.5.8 has gone live on the Mac App Store, and the latest update to the popular image editing app brings the ability to edit text in PDFs, along with a handful of other notable additions.

With the newest version, this support has been expanded so that users can edit imported text as regular text layers. In practice, this means existing text in PDFs can be more easily replaced, formatted, and styled using Pixelmator Pro tools. As the developers explain:

Typically, text in PDF documents is not directly editable. Instead, it's stored as vector shapes to keep documents looking consistent across various platforms and apps. To make text editable again, Pixelmator Pro extracts various embedded data from the original PDF, allowing it to recover the original text, fonts, and formatting. Even if some of these elements are missing, for instance, if the original font is not installed on your Mac, you can still import the text, select a different font, and continue with your edits.

In addition, the new text editing abilities mean users can seamlessly export Apple Keynote and Pages projects and continue editing them in Pixelmator Pro. All text remains fully editable in its original fonts, including the SF Pro font that is used throughout the Apple ecosystem.

Elsewhere in this update, the Style tool has been improved to simplify the creation of custom outlines around text layers. Users now have the option to add strokes inside, within, or outside of the text, choose from various stroke ends and corners, and also add dashed strokes.

Pixelmator Pro 3.5.8 also includes 12 new templates for web, social media, and more. All of the templates include a set of alternative color palettes for adjusting the theme to custom requirements.

Pixelmator Pro is available exclusively from the Mac App Store as a free update for existing users and $49.99 for new customers. A free seven-day trial of the software with no restrictions is also available on the Pixelmator website .
