And today with so many 3rd-party freeware programs being bundled with all manner of PUPs and malware, you\u2019ll be glad to know that if you have Windows 10, you don\u2019t need no stinkin\u2019 3rd-party software. Just open your document, click on the Print button (or press Ctrl \u2013 P ) and choose \u201cMicrosoft print to PDF\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>See the image below:<\/p>\n<p class=\"auto-style7\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/thundercloud.net\/infoave\/images\/2015\/print2pdf.png\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"auto-style7\">In the screenshot above, note that Microsoft Print to PDF is selected \u2014 and please note, because it\u2019s important, that Print to file is also selected. When you click Print (assuming the two items are checked) a Windows explorer window will open giving you a chance to choose where to save your PDF file and to name it.<\/p>\n<p>It works well. For our test we chose a simple Notepad file and used Microsoft print to PDF to create a PDF document without using any 3rd-party software. You will, of course, need a 3rd-party program to open it (or use Google Docs to open it). I use Foxit as my PDF reader, I have no idea what EB uses. You can use whatever you like including Adobe PDF Reader. Those of you with MS Word 2013 and newer can open PDF files with it.<\/p>\n<p>I called my PDF test file \u201cMyTEST\u201d \u2013 I know, it\u2019s very creative right? As you can see by the screen shot below, the Notepad text file was converted to PDF and saved to my desktop. It opens and looks like any other PDF file.<\/p>\n<p>Behold!<\/p>\n<p class=\"auto-style7\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/thundercloud.net\/infoave\/images\/2015\/print2pdf1.png\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"auto-style7\">Next time you need to save something as a PDF file and you&#8217;re using Windows 10 &#8211; just choose Print to PDF.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<div><\/div>\n<p class=\"auto-style7\">\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Windows 10: Print to PDF For over two decades, Windows users have had to download 3rd-party software in order to save files as PDF.
