Perhaps the simplest way to create PDF documents using Acrobat is via the Print command. Any application that features such a command will include an 'Adobe PDF' entry in its list of printers upon installation of Adobe Acrobat and this can be used to 'print' a PDF version of the active document.

Here's how:

  1. Start the application associated with the document you want to convert as normal.
  2. Open the file to be converted.
  3. Go to File > Print and select 'Adobe PDF' from the list of available printers.
  4. You will be prompted for a filename for your PDF and where to save it.

Once you've selected your filename and location, you're all done. Simple, huh?
