There is a built-in printer you can use to convert any print-out to PDF format. Select Print and then select Microsoft Print to PDF as your printer. You can decide where on your computer the document is saved, and you can name it.
Microsoft Office has a built-in option of saving documents in PDF format as well. Select File. Select Export and Create PDF/XPS. Select the folder you want to save your document in and click Publish.
Create a PDF file - Mac OS
If you are using macOS you can create a PDF file the following way: Select Print and click PDF down in the left corner in the print window. Select Save as PDF.
