I am on Linux but haven’t needed to use office software in nearly 20 years, how do you access the pdf printer? Is that different from saving as a pdf through the menu?

Edit: thanks for the help everyone!

    You literally 'print' to pdf. Instead of a physical page appearing from the demon box, it will give you a prompt of where to 'print' your file. Windows has it too, though I always use the pdf export and not the print. But in a pinch it's good.

    export is typically better as it preserve selectable text, if you print as pdf it will be as flat as a real paper (modern readers will still let you select text but you will be prone to any errors the text recognition can make)

    You hit print and select the PDF output. It probably works everywhere you can select a printer.

    Windows also has that, but you have to navigate your way out of OneDrive folders.
