Print conversion options.

I am trying to change the print conversion option that I selected when trying to view and print my tax returns. I chose to convert the pdf file to a Word document to print and view my returns. The problem is that none of the text lines up on the forms in Word so I want to change my print option back to viewing my returns as a pdf, not a Word document. Is it possible to change my print and view preferences back to the original?

Yes, if you choose View or Save options, your return will open in a PDF window.  It's best to save the PDF to your computer, then Print from it for your printed copy.

I would like to know how to revert my option from saving as a Word document to a PDF. This is the first year that I was asked whether I wanted to convert my file to a different type of file. I chose Word. Not only does it not convert the return to a Word document, 90% of the saved file is gibberish and the text doesn't line up at all. So I want to know how to revert back to saving it as a PDF. Right now, everytime I select save, it automatically saves to a Word doc. I don't think I'm going to use Turbotax after this year.

Can you highlight the tax file and right click with your mouse to save as an Adobe pdf?
