It is extremely handy to be able to print things directly to a PDF file, then you can e-mail that file, add it to File Share, or archive it away on your computer. PDF's are standardized format files that view the same on all computers, so you can be sure that what you send is being seen as you intended it to look, regardless of what computer or software the recipient might use.
There are a number of printer drivers that allow you to print directly to a PDF file that you save on your computer. This one, PDFCreator, is free and easy to install:
