Tech Tip: How to save or print to PDF • Blisstech Solutions

Welcome to a new Tuesday tech tip video where I will show you how to save files or print documents to a PDF file.

In today’s digital world, it’s more important than ever to be able to print or export files to PDF.

PDF stands for Portable Document Format, a universal file format that can be opened and read on any device. This makes it ideal for sharing documents with others, storing them electronically, or even printing them out.

There are many benefits to printing or exporting files to PDF. Here are just a few:

Sustainability: We should all be using less paper, and filing things digitally can help to reduce your environmental impact.
Digital filing: PDFs are also easy to store and organize digitally. You can create folders and subfolders to keep your documents organised, and you can even search for specific keywords within your PDFs.
Compatibility: PDFs are compatible with all major operating systems, so you can be sure that your recipients will be able to open and read your documents.

In this tech tip video, we’ll show you how to print or export files to PDF on Windows computers. So whether you need to share a document with a colleague or store it for future reference, saving it to a PDF file is a great way to get the job done.

How to create secure passwords

Weak passwords are one of the biggest security risks to your business.
Why?
Because cyber criminals are getting smarter than ever before. If they manage to crack just one password, they could gain access to your sensitive business data, financial information, or even gain control of your entire system.
Cyber criminals use automated tools to guess passwords, allowing them to try out millions of combinations in seconds. So, if you’re using something like “Password123” or “CompanyName2025”, you’re practically handing them the keys to your business.
A compromised password can lead to big issues, such as:
• Data breaches
• Financial losses
• Identity theft
• Reputation damage
But how do you create strong passwords without driving yourself (and your team) mad?
Think of your password like a secret recipe, where only you should know the ingredients. It should:
• Be at least 14 characters long (the longer, the better)
• Include a mix of uppercase and lowercase letters
• Contain a few numbers and symbols (like @, $, %, or &)
• Not contain any common words or easily guessable information (like birthdays, names, or the word “password”)
Instead of using a single word, you could try a passphrase – a short, random sentence that only you would understand. For example, instead of “Sailing2025”, try something like “Coffee&CloudsAreGreat9!”. This is much harder to crack, yet still easy to remember.
You should also steer clear of these common mistakes:
• Using personal info (your name, birthday, business name, etc.)
• Reusing the same passwords across multiple accounts
• Using simple sequences (“123456” or “abcdef”)
• Storing passwords in an easily accessible place (like a sticky note on your desk)
If remembering unique passwords for every account sounds impossible, there is another option: Password managers. These generate strong passwords, store them securely and autofill them for you.
With a password manager, you only need to remember one strong master password for the manager app itself. The rest are encrypted and stored safely, reducing the risk of data breaches.
Even the strongest password isn’t foolproof, which is why multi-factor authentication (MFA) is also important. MFA requires a second form of verification, like a one-time code sent to your phone or generated from an authentication app.
If you have employees accessing your business systems, it’s a good idea to have a password policy in place to explain your rules and why they’re important. This should include:
• Unique passwords for each system and account
• Regular security training on password best practices
• Business-wide use of MFA for critical systems
• Scanning for compromised passwords regularly
By making password security a priority, you can reduce the chances of a cyber attack creating a nightmare for your business.
