I was on my wife's Health Insurance web site (Fidelity) and found her
"Claims Activity" link.   That goes to a HUGE List (she had cancer) which
has a "Print" button.  Clicking THAT sends me to the print Options.
One "Option" is  - PRINT TO FILE.
Here is the problem . . . . . WHERE does the file get printed to ?
NO choices are given to place - just File Name....

Looking for information on this on Google just brings up ALL SORTS of
Gobble-De-Gook !  One opinion after another !   Mostly rubbish.

Searching for the file name gets me no-where !

Can someone point me in the right direction ?  I know it is OFF TOPIC.
Sorry for that !

This is Posted AFTER I fingered out how to do what I want on THIS Windows 7 machine.
Most of the answers did not apply to what I am experiencing HERE.

So - I looked up "Virtual Printers" on Google and found "Dopdf" - a FREE program to write pdf files whan you check "Print to File".   I downloaded it and installed it.

When I went to my Wife's Health Insurance Web Site and went to the Claims Page, I invoked the list of claims and clicked "Print This" and got the Windows 7 Print Menu.
I chose as the printer "doPDF" which was now on the list of printers.
I clicked "Save to File" and got that same LINE - 'File Name'...... to fill in.
I entered C:/mywifesclaimfile and hit enter.

The List I wanted was saved as a pdf to the C:/  (root)  directory.

IT WORKED !      Probably work the same way on Windows 10.....

So.....I fingered all this out myself.    Just had to educate myself (I have a PhD in Biochemistry) so I know how to do research - that's what a PhD Degree means.....

Thanks for the journey together guys !

For What It's Worth -

YOWSA ! - I loaded "DoPDF" onto my Windows 10 machine and now it appears in the PRINT
Dialog Box as a printer.   (it is a stand alone program also).
Went to my Banking Site and got to all my Checking Account Activity for a whole year.
It had a "Print This" box above the list - so I checked it.
Got the Print Dialog Box, chose DoPDF" and checked the "Print to File" box. Went thru new (to me) Windows 10 rig-a-marole and had to give it a name and destination
(is very different than Windows 7) ......
Long story short - I now have A WHOLE YEAR of my checking Account on a pdf file.
You can pick the File quality too !
Nice.

Great news!

Just curious. What do you use to open and read those files?

.
They are pdf - so I use Adobe Acrobat.
I supposedly will also convert to other file formats. Haven't tried THAT yet.
It is also a standalone program.....?

Just what I wanted.  Something to "get" a list in the nice List Format, but
be able to see it BEFORE unleashing it onto the printer.
