On my desktop when I select print I have the choice my printer or printing to a pdf file. Can I do this on my iPad?
You can print on an iPad in one of two cases: (1) You have an Airprint-enabled printer. This is a newer printer which is capable of connecting wirelessly. (2) You use an app like the excellent Printer Pro. Printer Pro works when you have a printer that has printer sharing turned on on your network.
