Hi All, Thank you for your responses! The solution for me: I updated to Windows 10. To create a PDF, I went to the navigation bar (upper left) and chose print, and then chose "Microsoft print to PDF." As hughlle noted, the file goes to the Documents folder. There does not seem to be an...

Thanks for your response. Unfortunately, it is not in my Documents folder. I have Windows 8.1 on my Surface Pro 3, which I bought in July 2014, and there is no notification regarding where the file is saved, nor is there an option to choose the folder. Seemingly a PDF is being created, as...
