    • What are the documents that you're trying to save as a PDF file?

    Save screenshots taken using PrtScn to OneDrive

    Hi,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    We understand that you want to save the screenshots taken using Prtscn directly to OneDrive.



    We would suggest you to refer the steps mentioned in the article
