  1. Pdf files are being saved by computer as photo files photo icon but .pdf in the file path name


    All my pdf files are being saved as photos but I am ticking the pdf box. What am I doing wrong?? And then computer won't open. Says it wrong path or don't have latest version - photos last updated on 12.01.2022. Even a word doc saved as pdf gets the photo icon and pdf in file path but won't open unless I specifically ask for adobe.

    :)

    Problems "Printing" pdf Files from the Photos App

    Jeffrey, thanks for the advice. I completed the first 3 steps and tested the creation of a pdf file from Photos. The file was created but the file name was wrong -- the file name was from a previously created pdf file. So I downloaded and executed the
    repair tool from the Microsoft Store. It indicated it had found and corrected a problem. I decided to rerun it to see if I would get a clean report but this time ran the repair tool from the Settings Troubleshoot menu. It reported no errors. I then tested
    creating a pdf from Photos and the process stopped before the file was created. I tested creating a pdf from Word and Chrome and both worked. Believing the Troubleshoot tool might be the culprit, I repeated your instructions. That time I saw random results:
    sometimes a file was created from Photos and sometimes it was not. But the consistent problem was the fie name was not as I typed in the pdf Save As dialog box but a name from a previously created pdf file. BTW, I restarted multiple times after making changes
    and each time I saw an inconsistent result. I'm now looking at the Creating Adobe PDF popup box. The file was created but the box was not closed and the progress bar is at about 50%. The file name in the Document Name box is not the same as the file name
    that I actually printed, but is the name assigned to the file albeit with a pdf extension rather than the docx extension as shown in the box. In the PDF Progress area, the file shown after "Ready" is the name of a pdf file I created then deleted yesterday
    while troubleshooting. And the "PDF Name" shown is the file name from the jpg file I was attempting to print with a pdf extension. So in addition to not executing properly, the various file names are inconsistently displayed and used.

    I'm pretty sure this is a problem with Photos or it's implementation of Acrobat since I am not seeing any of these problems from Office or other applications. Any ideas?

    Combining 1000s of PDF files with drag and drop

    OK I need to know how many files I have. The problem is that there is more than one file per PDF.

    Is there a was to combine all of them into one PDF drag and drop stile by the 100s?
