Hi gregjollymore,

I’m Rey, your Independent Advisor, and a Windows user, just like you.

I understand you are having trouble printing PDF files and get an error message. Let's work on that.

I just want to confirm that this error will open when you select Print to pdf, or when you print the pdf file to give a print out though you have an Adobe PDF reader installed?

You may follow these steps to fix the concern:

1. Click Start and type Turn Windows features.

2. Scroll and uncheck the Microsoft Print to PDF

3. This will take time and once done, restart pc.

4. Open the Windows Features again, and this time put a checkmark on the Microsoft Print to PDF.

5. You may restart the pc again and do again the printing.

Let me know if this helps, if not, then let's work on it together on your next reply.
