Windows 10: Convert to PDF no longer available when right click on a file in Explorer new computer with...

Previously, I could right click on a Word or Excel file, click Show More Options, then convert to PDF would be there. The option still exists when I click on a whole folder but not a single file. I do have a PDF writer installed Foxit PDF Editor. I do use Onedrive synced with my desktop.I also am having trouble with the preview pane. I have the option selcted and made sure I have it checked in advanced settings, but it will not preview a document until I click to open it, then it will show in Explorer. Not sure if these are connected.

Converting to PDF?

My contracting business often gets ".pln" files which are basically plan files. Currently I use a program called NitroPDF to convert them all to PDF. The quality of the converted PDF is fairly poor. Could anyone recommend another program to convert to PDF? Adobe Acrobat doesn't do it sadly.

How can I convert a .csv file to a .pdf file format???

Hello

I'm Peter F independent Advisor

Please follow these steps

You can convert with excel

Office Button->Open or pressing Ctrl+O and browsing for it on your computer. After that click on Office Button->Print or press the Ctrl+P combination and the Print window will open. Select novaPDF from the dropdown name list and click OK. After that, select
any After Save actions in the Save PDF File As window and click OK again. The printing will begin and the PDF will be saved in the location you have chosen.

If you don't have Excel you can convert with the notepad

The csv to PDF conversion from Notepad is pretty simple. First open the file by pressing Ctrl+O or using File->Open. After that click File->Print and choose novaPDF in the printers list. Click Print and OK in the Save PDF File As window and the csv will be
converted.

I hope it helps
