Saving files or documents in PDF-format is available in almost any application, OS X, by using the print function in a PDF, which is part of the service of printers. However, to get the print menu and then choose the printing method "in a PDF", you need to perform a variety of activities, spending that extra time. There are more convenient and, most importantly, a quick way to save documents in digital form - is the Hotkeys. How to assign and use for this action a keyboard shortcut, you will learn from this article.
an old trick we use to create a shortcut that will allow us to use a standard keyboard shortcut ⌘P. Yes, the system will tell us that it is the combination of busy, but really, everything will work fine. ;)
Open the system settings from the Dock, or menu . And go to the section Keyboard.
Switch to tab Keyboard shortcuts, Select in the side menu Keyboard shortcuts applications (App Shortcuts) And click the button +.
In the drop-down menu to choose All programsThen enter the name of the menu Save as PDF ..., Set the keyboard shortcut ⌘P and click Add.
After the performed manipulations can check shortcut in action - for this you need to press ⌘P, P (those. ⌘P and then immediately hold down ⌘, again P). Do not be fooled that the two different actions assigned to a hot key. The thing is that the first shortcut will cause the print menu, and the second is already open dialogue Save as PDF.
Thus, you now have the ability to quickly save to PDF any file, document, web page or something else. It's simple, convenient, and most importantly, saves time, and what we wanted to achieve. ;)
