I've been working on this for many hours. There is NO 'The printer I want is not listed' only Not finding what looking for which takes me to a windows page about bluetooth! Not helpful.
I deleted old Windows print to pdf after:
I have a single user on a Windows 10 PC and mostly a user of Dynamics Great Plains 2015 that keeps calling me into her office because she can't SEND TO E-MAIL from Great Plains 2015. It will just sit there. Each time I go check, there is either NO default printer selected or ADOBE PDF is set as default. I can't stop this from happening. Select Use an existing port option and select Documents.pdf (Adobe PDF) from the drop-down list. Click Have Disk. (you may have to try this multiple times to find the correct Converter from the list that works with your version of Windows). Name your printer as Adobe PDF. Follow onscreen instructions to complete the installation. Aug 26, 2016 To an application, the PDF Printer looks like a printer and allows the application to write a document as a PDF Document in the same way it would print the document to the printer.
Print to pdf appears to work it says its doing it but never puts anything in the file folder I save it to.
I found some solved this with resetting permissions on the Temp files especially if moved. I went through all the command prompts and got the end result as specified. No Joy.
In sharing you have to include Current Creator or something like that not just 'Everyone'. No Joy.
The try to find a problem options doesn't find a problem. .. except won't print to pdf
I believe in a prior version of Windows 10 there was a Printer is not listed option as this post describes. But in my latest update it disappeared.
NEW I found the printer is not listed option.. duh.... If you right click in the printer area the option does not show. However, if you use the upper tab 'Add a printer' does show and I followed every step in this article. It put the Print to PDF printer back in. No joy if print to it now doesn't even give me the save as file explorer which it did before.
I changed all the security settings to allow all the options. No joy.
I then set up the printer to 'save to file' But doing that only has a Postscript? output option. It opened explorer direction, let it save...showed it was saving.... but just as before, no file is actually saved.
So have basically run out of options nothing seems to work
I am going to just print on a regular printer that works fine and then scan it and convert to pdf. Would be easier if Print to PDF worked.
