Printing to PDF

It’s great fun to print your tweets, but maybe not everyone is happy about using up paper.

The answer is simple, you can print to PDF, we mentioned this in an earlier post but didn’t give any details about how to actually send your output to a PDF file rather than the printer. If you already know how to do this, then this post probably won’t be of interest to you.

It’s as easy as installing a printer driver

We would recommend CutePDF, which you can find with Google.

You’ll need to follow the installation instructions on that site, but they’re pretty clear so we won’t repeat them here.

Once your PDF printer driver is installed you’ll be able to see it in your list of available printers when you press print. You just select it as your printer and press print. A few moments later it will ask you where to save your PDF file.

If you don’t normally see a print dialog box appear when you hit print, navigate to File > Print in your web browser menu and print from there.

If you have any problems getting this working, please post a comment here and we’ll try to help.
