When printing to a PDF there are some extra options available to you:

•Add additional PDF security other than the default basic security that prevents modification.

•Save a backup of the report to a report vault, such as a folder on a Cloud drive. It is highly recommended to use these options to both save a PDF copy as well as a database backup copy to a cloud drive in the event your database gets corrupted or your hard drive fails and you haven't performed a full backup in a while. Cloud drives like DropBox, Microsoft's OneDrive, Google Drive and others have free storage solutions that are can be invaluable down the road.
