    Printing to PDF


    Hi, My hard drive was recently corrupted. It is fixed now, but I don't seem to be able to print a Microsoft Word document to PDF any more.


    I get a message that says " There was an internal error, and Internet explorer is unable to print this document".


    Haven't a clue what that means, never had this problem before. Can anyone help please?

    :)

    Print to PDF missing in Printer List

    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.
