<title>Print to file</title>
<p>You can choose to print a document to a file instead of sending it to
print from a printer. Printing to file will create a <sys>PDF</sys>, a
<sys>PostScript</sys> or a <sys>SVG</sys> file that contains the document.
This can be useful if you want to transfer the document to another machine
or to share it with someone.</p>
