How to Add a PDF Printer to Mac

If you’re looking to save documents and files as PDFs on your Mac, adding a PDF printer is a convenient solution. While Macs come with a built-in feature to save documents as PDFs, adding a PDF printer allows you to print directly to a PDF file from any application.

Here’s how you can add a PDF printer to your Mac:

  1. Open System Preferences: Click on the Apple logo in the top-left corner of your screen and select ‘System Preferences’.
  2. Go to Printers & Scanners: In the System Preferences window, locate and click on the ‘Printers & Scanners’ icon.
  3. Add a Printer: Press the ‘+’ sign to add a new printer to your list of printers.
  4. Select the PDF option: From the list of available printers, find and select ‘Save as PDF’.
  5. Finish the Setup: Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the setup process.
  6. Print to PDF: Now, when you want to save a document as a PDF, simply select the ‘Save as PDF’ option from the list of printers while printing.

Adding a PDF printer to your Mac gives you the flexibility to save documents as PDFs quickly and easily. Whether you’re working on a project, filling out forms, or simply want to save a webpage as a PDF, having a PDF printer can be a valuable tool in your digital workflow.
