- TylerE 5y agoThis is categorically false. There have always been other tools for producing PDF (E.g. TeX) and there are also tons of free converters, print-to-PDF drivers, etc.
- LordDragonfang 5y agoI have never seen anyone I would remotely describe as a layman using TeX.
- garbagecoder 5y agomacOS hasn’t had this problem in 20 years.
- elcapitan 5y agoYes, it's literally just Print dialogue -> Save as pdf. Also worth noting that the PDF preview on the Mac has very nice simple editing capabilities to combine pages, delete pages, crop etc.
- samus 5y agoAny modern office suite (MS Office, Libreoffice, Google Apps) has PDF export. Many image editing applications can do it too.
