Windows 10: Adobe acrobat and Microsoft pdf printers are not showing

I am working on windows 10 and am using Revit.

When I go to print, there is no option for Adobe acrobat or Microsoft print to pdf.

I think I removed the Microsoft one by accident because it did not have a print in A2 option.??

I have reinstalled Adobe acrobat as the default but it still does not show as a print option!!

I have been through all the ways of trying to get them back, but my skills are a bit lacking.

Can anyone help. please.

:)

 

Unable to print a Microsoft Edge webpage to PDF using adobe acrobat

Adobe reader is of no value when printing to PDF. Adobe acrobat is correctly installed.

PDF's print from Adobe Acrobat to external printers

The problem is with the plugin Adobe uses for Acrobat and my understanding is that Microsoft will not accept the old plugin for security reasons. Microsoft advice seems to be use Internet Explorer if you want to use Adobe acrobat to print to PDF.

The problem with the "Microsoft Print to PDF" is that it is very slow and cannot cope with large documents.

I principal reason for upgrading to Windows 10 was that Internet Explorer has too many issue [frequent freezing amongst them] so upgrading and finding print to PDF issues with Edge is a big disappointment.

It seems to me, the solution needs Adobe to change their Acrobat plugin but the reading Adobe forums does not suggest that is likely for Acrobat 10 [the version I have.]

Hi,

Thank you for posting the query on Microsoft Community.

I appreciate your interest on Windows 10.

Before we proceed I would like you to answer the following question:

Unable to print a Microsoft Edge webpage to PDF using adobe acrobat

I just upgraded to Windows 10

Now I find I cannot print to PDF using Adobe Acrobat, or CutePDF, from Microsoft Edge although both printers are in the list of printers for Microsoft Edge.

I know from the Adobe community that this is a common problem and Adobe don't offer a solution

Advice please!
