  <title>Print to file</title>

  
You can choose to print a document to a file instead of sending it to

  print from a printer. Printing to file will create a <sys>PDF</sys>, a

  <sys>PostScript</sys> or a <sys>SVG</sys> file that contains the document.

  This can be useful if you want to transfer the document to another machine

  or to share it with someone.
