Not exactly related to this tip, but it brings to mind a question I have. The newer versions of MS Office Products such as Word and Excel, allow saving these files as PDF files using the "Save As" dialog box. Alternatively, you can also utilize the "Print" dialog and select "Print to PDF" to seemingly accomplish the same result. Which is these two methods is the preferred method for saving these files as PDFs? Is there any resulting difference in formatting, etc. between these two methods? Thank you for the great tips!
