    PDF Print window defaults to Landscape


    A few months ago this problem arose.


    When I go to print a PDF file, the print window defaults to Landscape. Almost all my documents are in portrait view.


    I cannot find any setting in the print window that lets me set the default setting to portrait.


    This seems strange. It is a nuisance.


    The normal Office 365 print windows perform normally.

    :)

    Print to PDF missing in Printer List

    Hi William,

    We suggest that you disable and re-enable the Print to PDF feature. Here are the steps:

    • Click on the Start menu and type in Windows Features.
    • Choose Turn Windows features on or off.
    • On the next window, find Microsoft Print to PDF and disable it. Click
      OK to save changes.
    • Restart your PC.
    • Repeat the same steps to re-enable Microsoft Print to PDF.
    If the issue persists, we suggest that you perform the troubleshooting steps suggested on the link below under

    Thanks for your help. I was browsing the web the other day and I found a page called FINAL DRAFT. They had a set of instructions for reinstalling the Microsoft Print to PDF utility that worked great for me. Problem solved.
