<title>Saving a form</title>

<p>
  After you have filled it out, you may wish to save your form in one of two ways:
</p>

<list type="numbered">
<item><p>
     To save a copy that can be edited in the future (form remains interactive):
     </p>
   <steps>
      <item>
        <p> Go to
        <guiseq><gui style="menuitem">File</gui>
        <gui style="menuitem">Print</gui></guiseq>
        and
        select <gui>Save As…</gui> or press
        <keyseq><key>Ctrl</key><key>S</key></keyseq> on your keyboard.</p>
     </item>
 <item>
      <p>
      Choose a name and folder to save the file in, then click <gui>Save</gui>.
      The PDF will be saved in the folder you chose.
      </p>
    </item>
   </steps>
</item>
<item><p>
    To save a copy that can no longer be edited (for example, to e-mail the form or submit it on-line):
      </p>
   <steps>
    <item>
        <p> Go to
        <guiseq><gui style="menuitem">File</gui>
        <gui style="menuitem">Print</gui></guiseq>
        and select <gui>Print</gui> or press
        <keyseq><key>Ctrl</key><key>P</key></keyseq> on your keyboard.</p>
    </item>


    <item>
      <p>
      Select <gui>Print to File</gui> and choose PDF as the
      <gui>Output format</gui>.
      </p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>
      Choose a name and folder to save the file in, then click <gui>Print</gui>.
      The PDF will be saved in the folder you chose.
      </p>
    </item>
   </steps>
</item>
</list>
