Some companies may have you believe that you have to purchase a piece of software in order to convert documents to PDF.  While this maybe true with Windows, it isn’t with a Mac.  Here’s how:

1. Open a document with any text or word editor that you wish to convert the document.
2. Select [Command] + [P] to bring up the print dialog window.
3. On the lower-left of the window is a drop down choice that says PDF.  Click on the down arrow.
4. Inside that drop down menu is a choice that says “SAVE AS PDF”.  Choose that.
5. The SAVE dialog window opens.  Give the document a name and then press SAVE.
6. That’s it!  The document is now a PDF document.
