I was playing around with the Keyboard and Mouse Preferences pane, and decided to try adding an Application keyboard shortcut for Safari. I just typed in Save as PDF... (no quotes, and type the ellipses by hitting option-semicolon) -- and it worked! I made the shortcut Command-Option-Control-P. So now to save a web page as a PDF, I can type Command-P and then Command-Option-Control-P to bring up the Save box to save the PDF. No more having to use the mouse/trackpad to select this.
[robg adds: This works in both 10.5 for sure, and almost but not quite in 10.4 -- you can see the shortcuts in the menu, but they only work if you first activate the menu -- at least, I think that's what's happening. If you have it working in 10.4, please comment. This is an amazingly useful tip, as you can do this for any of the entries in that menu -- I set Control-Command-M to Mail PDF, for instance. I set the shortcuts up for All Applications, since those menu choices are the same in every app, and now I can print and mail PDFs without touching the mouse.]
