Windows 10: PDF not an option on windows 10 scanner

My printer is a Lexmark MX317dnOn my Mac, the software was Lexmark and I could print and scan no problem. Now I am using Windows, I am forced to use a Windows application thata does not allow me to double side scan through my feederb does not let me scan to PDF. If I choose it as an option I get an error message. I have tried to set up PDF in the scanner profile but it doesn't give me the option. I don't want to scan to JPG then have to save to PDF as it is a waste of my time.

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK

Reinstall Print to PDF Option / Missing Print to PDF (Windows 10)

When I first upgraded to the Windows 10, I enjoyed the new "Print to PDF" option under the list of printer options. However, for some strange reason it stopped working a couple of weeks ago. I tried going back to previous "Builds", systems restores before
updates, etc., but nothing fix the issue. I notice that "Print to PDF" was listed as a device under the Devices: Printers & Scanners within settings, similar to actually my Kodak Printer. So I thought I could just remove the "Print to PDF" device/printer/driver
and reinstall it, similar to reinstalling my Kodak printer or a Kodak printer diver. However, I have been unsuccessful in locating a download or driver on Microsoft/Windows website for the "Print to PDF".

Where can I find the Microsoft/Window 10 "Print to PDF" DOWNLOAD or DRIVER to download/install to get back my "Print to PDF" as a printer function/printer option?
