Send a document as a PDF
Send a document that arrives looking exactly the way you left it.
Exporting to PDF makes a second file with the layout locked. Every page break and photograph stays put.
Send the document itself and it can rearrange on another machine.
Key points
- Exporting to PDF makes a copy with the layout locked
- The document you can still edit stays exactly where it was
What to remember
- Export makes a copy, not a replacement.
- A PDF looks the same on every machine.
Try this
Open something you have written and look for Export, or Save As, and the word PDF.
