When I am browsing, and viewing a document online, FILE-SAVE PAGE AS does not give a "PDF" choice. I am using a MAC with Mavericks software. I have used Safari, where I can even save a webpage (not a doc) as a PDF. Is there a setting or Prefrence I am missing?

Thanks in advance,

Al

Try to print the page to a PDF printer via "File > Print"?

There is no Option displayed to Print. A "SAVE AS" window pops. When I follow thru and SAVE, then attempt to re-open the file, the file has no PDF suffix, so my MAC is looking for alternative software to open it.

When it is a PDF file then you can add the .pdf file extension yourself is it is missing.
