How to print a PDF document with Windows 10

The PDF format has become an Internet standard for over a decade. Many are the official bodies, companies and individuals that use it practically every day to send any type of document, official or not, thanks to the possibilities it offers us, which are not few.

If we want to convert any type of document to PDF format, we have a large number of applications and services at our disposal on the Internet. But if we are Windows 10 users, we do not need to resort to this type of applications or services at any time, since we can do it natively.

Windows 10 natively offers us two installed virtual printers: Microsoft Print to PDF and Microsoft XPS Document Writer. The latter was an attempt by the Redmond-based company to try to be an alternative to the PDF format, but as we have been able to verify, it has hardly had any travel in the market, still Microsoft continues to bet on him.

If we want to convert an image or any type of document, be it text, spreadsheet or presentation with Windows 10 without having to use third-party applications or web pages, we must follow the steps that I detail below.

• First, we must open the document that we want to save in PDF format.
• Then we head up Archive and click on Print.
• Next, we must select as printer Microsoft Print to PDF. If we have a printer installed on our computer, this will be the one that appears as the default, so we must change it to the one indicated.
• Then click on Print.
• Next, a new window will open in which we must write the name of the file we want to create and set the location where we want to store it.
• Finally we click on Save and the file will be created in the selected location.
