With advancement of technology there was a great need to be able to come up with a suitable format in which documents can easily be shared among different people without any of them being altered. PDF became the easiest method to store files that can enable readability of documents without necessarily any of the files being altered.
Portable Document Format enables you to create files that you can be able to lock them to prevent either unnecessary printing or editing or both depending on the preference of the author of the document.

If a drop down menu pops out when you select file name then move to where it is written PDF and select it.
You can change the file name if you deem it suitable and select where you want your PDF document to be saved i.e. the folder that you prefer it to be located you will get another option of having that file automatically opening when you click publish.
When it comes to this choice you have to choose if you want it to be available for online publishing and printing or just for online publishing. If it’s for online publishing then you will be forced to create a standard file, but if it’s just for online publishing then you are going to create a minimum size file.
