What we are going to talk about is how to save files to PDF, PDF’s are portable documents format. Most of you guys have used PDF but you probably don’t know why you people use PDF. We use it because we want to access the files quicker and we also want to save paper and ink because if you print all your documents out right, you have to store it or something and when you store something you would actually have to find it later and it takes a long time. It would be better if it’s left on your computer, you know what I’m saying?
So that’s why it saves space, it saves trees and it saves ink, save money. That’s exactly why you people use it and also if you want to send us that one you could and if you want to print it later, you could. So that’s why people use PDF is just efficient. In windows people do not have the option of training to PDF, you would actually have to download a third party application which is I think it’s called ghost script or something like that. It’s a freeware. In Ubuntu, this are already built into the system, so anything that you can print has the option of printing. You could save it to PDF.
Now if you have a web page or something right or you just bought something and you want to print the receipt, you say yes, print it right, it’s usually like in the top of the print screen or use the file. And you see this screen and all you have to do is print the file or you could click the PDF as the same thing but print a file and then I’ll say this is a PS file but if you want it in PDF format just click on PDF and just click print and it will save to PDF. That’s pretty much it for that and if you’re using like open office or writer or anything in writer, I’ll say file and then export as PDF or you can just print the same thing.
And they have options here, see if you want my laser printer here, if you want PDF just click PDF or you can save to file if you want. It’s the same thing, so I print to PDF right? Click okay and its printing but where’s it at right? It’s in your home folder bitches, up here home folder and where did it go right, here and this is PDF and your home folder and as you can see I just print out this one. Double click on it and we’ll see what its like, see page one right there and page two, click on this, so yes, that’s what mainly PDF’s are for and you can print it.
Again if you want to print stuff, to paper this time and you print, so its kind of like have you print like multiple pages you know. I’ll keep it on a list on the side here of all the pages that you want to print and it’s like a booklet. A digital booklet or E-book, that’s what they call it but it is a document and there’s a few different ones like PDF, de ja vu or some shit like that and then PS format, so there's a few different formats but PDF is the most known you know? They also call it digital book or E-book if you know you’re buying books, they usually come out in PDF or some shit like that but you get the idea of what it does, why it saves trees, why it saves money, why it saves ink, that’s it.
