Dear Maureen P, AFAIK, you can print to PDF from that application and the OS encourages this but you cannot Save As... to that format, as it is something that is produced from PostScript printer files not direct from the Quark XPress files themselves. One is a desktop publishing tool, the other (PDF) is pretty much a display only (virtual paper) cross platform format. PDF is both the abbreviation and the file extension for the Adobe Acrobat Portable Document Format. HTH.
