Why is it private? The document is rendered inside your browser and the PDF is created by your own operating system. Nothing is sent to a server and there is no watermark.
Tips for a clean PDF
- Turn off Headers and footers in the print dialog so the date and URL do not appear.
- Pick the right paper size: Letter in the US and Mexico, A4 elsewhere.
- If the document has background images, enable Background graphics.
On mobile
On Android with Chrome, tap Save as PDF and choose “Save as PDF” as the printer. On iPhone use Share → Print, then spread two fingers on the preview to open it as a PDF and save it.
If the layout changes
Highly designed documents (floating text boxes, SmartArt, equations) may look different. In that case, export to PDF from Word, Google Docs or LibreOffice.
