Microsoft Print to PDF is a feature built into Windows that allows you to convert documents into PDF (Portable Document Format) files without the need for third-party software. 

This virtual printer enables you to create a PDF file from any application that has a print option.

This feature eliminated the need for third-party PDF printing software and has been a standard part of Windows 10 since its initial release.

Here's how to do it.
  1. Open the document you wish to convert in its native application (e.g., Microsoft Word).
  2. Click on ‘File’ and select ‘Print’.
  3. In the Printer dropdown menu, choose ‘Microsoft Print to PDF’.
  4. Click ‘Print’, and you’ll be prompted to choose a location to save your new PDF.
  5. Name your file and click ‘Save’ to complete the process.
