It’s the small things...

that make all the difference!

Being able to save web receipts after purchasing something on-line is really useful.  The Mac lets you do this easily.  By selecting Print from the browser as normal, but then hitting the PDF button (rather than print) and select “Save PDF to Web Receipts Folder.” and you end up with a PDF version of the receipt filed in the Web Receipts folder.  Which is then easily retrievable, thanks to Finder!

I used to jump through several hoops in Windows, requiring me to copy, create email, paste and send to myself.

Things are just better, when they are done right!

With Adobe Acrobat (not the reader), you can do pretty much the same:

Click print, select Adobe PDF, enter filename & choose location and off you go.

A lesser man would make a similar comment to what you made on my blog about "the little things," Simon.

Yeah, but I have to but Acrobat separately, this all works out of the box. It uses the custom workflow options in Tiger to make it slick!
