Create PDF Files
A pdf (Portable Document Format) is a file created in such a way that most people can open and read it, no matter what kind of computer they use. The graphics, the images, the fonts, and all the formatting is held intact in the document. And it's usually compressed into a smaller file size (not physical size) so it can travel through the Internet quickly.
To make a PDF in most Mac applications, have the document open in front of you. From the File menu, choose “Print…,” then click the “PDF” button.
Save as PDF Saves a regular pdf that you can share with others. The graphics are at full resolution and the fonts are embedded.
