depends

are they trying to export a PDF from Microsoft Word? because Microsoft makes that difficult nowadays

Can't you just print and choose "print to pdf" as your "printer"?

[–] mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 4 points 5 days ago

you can still do that

it's buggier than it used to be, though

Yup, super difficult. Its not the default, so no one can find it.

Apparently then it is bad for formatting and reading apps for the visual impaired can not pick up sections when they have been pre assigned (but I didn’t test just saw a real, need confirmation)

It's really not... There are several pretty straightforward ways to do it and they're all pretty old standards. Save as > select PDF as the file type. Or if you have Adobe Reader/Acrobat installed, word has a button right under save as that says Save As Adobe PDF. Or you can print to PDF using the Adobe print function in the printers. Lastly windows has a built in PDF printer by default. All of these work pretty damn reliably. If you can't save a PDF from a word doc, it's either your computer or you.

You're showing your privilege lol

When you save an office file to PDF and you are in a OneDrive environment, it doesn't save it locally - it saves it to the cloud, and then downloads it locally. it's fucked up

I'm not going to fault people for having trouble when the "save this file as PDF" option doesnt result in a PDF immediately in the save directory

Interesting considering I can save as a PDF while offline

[–] Camille_Jamal@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 days ago

Apparently work computers are fucked up beyond comprehension

God those must be NASTY to use

[–] mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 days ago

if I remember next week, I'll try to save one while offline and see what happens

I can tell you that if I use "save as PDF" while online with onedrive not running (whether because I shut it down or because it crashed and didn't restart itself), the pdf will not show up locally for me

Control-s save as>pdf is how I do but I’m not professional I’m teen

Still seeing classmates open chrome, search “google” in the search bar, click the link, just to end where they started is infuriating as fuck
