PDF file in any folder, just like when you select
"Save As…" from the File menu.

available from the Print dialog box , it
can be accessed from many different
application. If you need to share a
document with a friend or colleague
and he or she doesn't have the
program you are using, one option is
to save the document in the standard
PDF format, then send the PDF.

not as editable as other documents

Options button when choosing where
to save the PDF. This gives you the
option to require a password to open
or edit the document.
