MATT RR Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 What do you mean by advert? If it's an ad on a web page can you screen snip it then when saving select the file type as pdf? Generally when saving a file selecting the file type as pdf before saving will do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rider Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 If you have a PC running Windows software chances are you will have a print option for Microsoft PDF Print which will save as a pdf file. If you have a really new windows version it may not be there but its an easy reinstall, instructions here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rider Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 If you find you don't have access to the Microsoft PDF Print then this article lists some 3rd party pdf print options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobUK Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 have you written/designed an advert? if so what did you do that in? most packages will have a "save as" function then you can then choose PDF.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobUK Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Yes mate Ok so you go into your web browser (I use Chrome, others work similar) select what you want to "appear" on the page and then goto "print" from the File/Action menu (browser dependant) once you get the print box you can select what to print (i specified that only what i had selected was printed) you can change the options on printing graphics/backgrounds and if its portrait/landscape etc.... then the main thing is to change your printer from your local HP/Epson or whatever to a PDF file, normally you will have at least one "PDF Printer" chose this, then click print, you should then get the option to save whats being printed to file..... Job done!..... now if you don;t have a PDF printer driver then you can download and use something like http://www.bullzip.com/products/pdf/info.php Hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
