    PDF files are not saving. They are saving as word documents!


    Hi there, in the last couple of weeks I cannot print a pdf file to save in my documents. I have Windows 11. The file shows in my documents as a Word document! Plus it is completely in gobbledegook! I have tried to restart the computer and it is still happening. I have tried uninstalling Chrome. I have tried uninstalling Microsoft pdf. I have tried uninstalling Adobe reader. Any advice? Thank you.

    :)

    Saving a word document as PDF

    Hi, I have created a document in word, but would like to save it in PDF. When I click "save as", there is PDF option in the drop down. I have tried downloading a converter from Google, but it changes my settings when converting. Any suggestions on how
    to get it into my drop down options please?
