How do I save my TurboTax Desktop return as a PDF without printing

I'm done filing and want to just save my return as a pdf on my computer. TT says "Here's how to save a copy of your return for your records" followed by a button that says "Print Returns" and the statement "This will print a copy of all your prepared returns with PDF options for your records."

I'm afraid if I click the button, it's going to print out hundreds of pages of return (including duplicating the federal one for my state return) - a real waste of ink and paper! Is that the only option? Or will clicking that button take me to the usual print window which gives me the option to save as pdf, print specific pages, etc? I'm afraid to try without knowing the answer to this question!

I will print out select pages that I want printed once I have the pdf.

No it won't print right then. It will show you it as a pdf that you can save as pdf or that you can print out. You can print like any pdf and just pick the pages you want. I usually print by going to the Forms Mode and print each form I want separately.
