Creating a PDF from a TextEdit document

You can create a PDF when you print a TextEdit document.

  1. Open the document and choose File > Print.
  2. Select any settings you want to use, then click "Save as PDF."
  3. Give the PDF a name and choose a place to save the file, then click Save.

If you need to save a document as a PostScript ".ps" file instead, choose "Save as PostScript" from the Action pop-up menu (next to the "Save as PDF" button in the print dialog).
