Windows 10: Cannot find PDF file created from "Print to PDF" selection.

I wanted to save a large file as PDF rather than print it out so I selected the printer option of "Print to PDF" and when it asked me where to save it I chose "Desktop" however, after it appeared to "print" the file is nowhere to be found. I then tried again, this time saving to "Documents" folder, again PDF is nowhere to be found. I then did a 3rd attempt and chose to save it to OneNote as this was an option. Same thing, cannot be found. I tried searching entire drive, hidden folders, etc.... Interestingly, when saving the file the second and third times I COULD SEE THE PDF FILE I WAS LOOK

:)

 

Best free PDF software?

I use:

• UnityPDF to merge/split PDFs and to insert/extract pages

• doPDF to create PDFs from any program that is capable of printing

• Foxit Reader to view PDFs and to type in them

 

Microsoft Print to PDF mixes up JPGs.

Hi Anita,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

To understand the issue better, I suggest you to answer the below questions.

• What happens when you select small bunch of images and try to print?
• Is the issue specific to the Microsoft Print to PDF?

I would suggest you to follow the below steps and check if it helps you.

• Create a new folder and copy the images you want in PDF.
• Sort the images as you want. (It always copies as per the sorted time/date)
• Set the images in Order/Sequence as you want it to be set in PDF.
• Select all and Print it to PDF.

Keep us posted to help you better.
