  <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>

  <steps>

      <p>Open the print dialog by pressing
      <keyseq><key>Ctrl</key><key>P</key></keyseq>.</p>
