I wanted to do this myself so google brought me here. Then I had a mini brainwave and remembered "Microsoft Print to PDF" which is built in as an option in the print menu. I tried it and it worked!

So just go File->Print, then choose Microsoft Print to PDF as the printer, then choose where to save your printout.

Answer 4

First, you need a PDF printer tool like:

• Foxit Reader (PDF Reader and printer)
• CutePDF (PDF printer only)

I'm using Visual Studio 2013 but colors were not printing.

If you are using Visual Studio 2010-2012, you might want to check the following extension from Microsoft: Color Printing

If you are using Visual Studio 2013, you can check this extension from Microsoft which includes color printing: Productivity Power Tools 2013

If you are using Visual Studio 2015, you can check this extension from Microsoft which includes color printing: Productivity Power Tools 2015
