Print to PDF
Instead of a physical printer, you can select Adobe PDF in almost any Windows or Mac OS application. Print to PDF
creates an electronic copy of your file that you can save to disk.
When you use Acrobat DC to print a document to PDF, people will see it just like you sent it — whether they're viewing
it on a computer, tablet, or smartphone.
Print to PDF (Windows)
1 Open a file in a Windows application.
2 Choose File > Print.
3 Choose Adobe PDF as the printer in the Print dialog box.
4 Click Print. Type a name for your file, and click Save.
Print to PDF (Mac OS)
1 Open a file in a Mac OS application.
2 Click the PDF button and choose Save As Adobe PDF.
3 Choose the Adobe PDF Settings and click Continue.
4 Type a name for your file, and click Save.
Scan documents to PDF
Scan a paper document to PDF and turn it into a smart, searchable PDF with selectable text.
Scan a paper document to PDF
You can create a PDF file directly from a paper document, using your scanner and Acrobat DC. On Windows, Acrobat
DC supports TWAIN scanner drivers and Windows Image Acquisition (WIA) drivers. On Mac OS, Acrobat DC
supports TWAIN and Image Capture (ICA).
In Windows, you can either use the Autodetect Color Mode and let Acrobat determine the paper document’s content
type, or use other presets (Black & White Document, Grayscale Document, Color Image, and Color Document) based
on your judgment. You can configure the scanning presets or use the Custom Scan option to scan with the settings of
your choice.
Note: Preset scanning is available only for scanner drivers that support Hide Scanner’s Native Interface mode. The scanning
presets are not available on Mac OS.
