How To Save As On Mac

PDF Studio does not provide a PDF printer driver like Adobe does. In general, we found that packaging with our own PDF printer driver is not needed as nowadays the latest operating systems come with a PDF printer and most business applications include a Save As PDF function. To print any documents to PDF on older operating systems, there a number of free PDF printer drivers, available for download. Once installed, these printer drivers will show under the list of printers in your print dialog, allowing you to save any file or web page to PDF.
