    Printing a pdf file from Windows 10


    When I want to print from a Word Document it immediately saves to a pdf file and I just cannot get it to print. I have spent a long time trying everything I can think of and have no idea what else I might try. It's driving me mad (as well as being very inconvenient).

    PLEASE, can somebody help me!

    :)

    Printing a pdf file from Windows 10

    PDF won't print

    Hi Bruce,

    A software conflict is one of the possible reasons why you're unable to print PDF files. Since you've mentioned that you're able to print other files, it's possible that the PDF reader app that you're using is outdated or corrupted. We'd like to know a few
    things so we can better address your concern.

    • Have you made any changes prior to the issue?
    • Are you getting any error messages when trying to print PDF files?
    • How are you trying to print PDF files?
    • What's the default printer set up on your computer?

    In the meantime, for us to troubleshoot your printing issue, we suggest updating the PDF reader app that you're using. We also suggest updating your printer driver. To so do, refer to the steps provided on this
    link. If Windows doesn't find a new driver, you can try checking for one on your device manufacturer's website.

    Let us know if you need further assistance.
