The Penneo Printer can be used to create a PDF of a document you have in any software, as long as the software has a print feature.
A document printed with the Penneo Printer will be directly sent to the Penneo's Desktop application as a PDF.
The Printer function solely works with the Desktop application. You cannot send documents to the web version.
Also, note that the installation of the Printer is different on Windows and Mac.
If you are using the MAC OSX, the printer is built into the application. However, you need to activate it within the application by following the steps below.
With the Windows version of the Desktop application, the printer needs to be downloaded and installed separately, as explained in the guide below.
