Hi Gigi, Try this. Go to your file menu while your in safari and reading that text and choose export as pdf. I'm not sure but i did this the other day and it took that safari text and exported or saved it out to where ever you want and it then opened up in preview on my desk top. I know the option is there not sure about whether it said export as pdf or save as pdf but I got it to work. HTH Chuck
