In conclusion, creating PDF files simply involves having a PDF printer installed. Well, this is the way that I do it because it's quick, easy, convenient and free!

Windows users can install CutePDF and Mac users can install CupsPDF. Although, Mac already has this feature built in.

With both operating systems, the key is to make sure that you select the PDF printer as the printer you want to 'print' to. This will create the PDF file by printing the document or page that you have selected to print.

I hope this tutorial has helped you as I've tried to make it as clear and easy to follow as possible. If you need more information, you can Google 'CutePDF' or 'CupsPDF', as you may have already guessed!

I'm not a PDF Professional by trade but feel free to ask questions below - I'll do my best to assist.

Happy PDF-creating!

Hudson, I'm very glad you appreciated the 'attention to detail'! I tried to keep it simple at the same time though.

Excellent overview. I have used the built-in Mac feature for years but I didn't have a version for my PC. So, I will now use Cute PDF Writer! Thanks for taking the time to put this together.
Regards,
Johnny

Hi Johnny, it did take some time to put it together but I think teaching others and being of some assistance while I'm here is worth it :)
