Windows 10: Right Click Print Option Missing after choosing PDF's to print - Windows 10

So, there is apparently an issue when trying to right click on say, 5 or even one PDF, to print in File Explorer. The context menu does not display the Print option, and the print icon is greyed out when you click on the Share icon in File Explorer
Acrobat is set as the default application for opening PDF's. Clicking on 5, .DOCX or .XLSX, there is a print option when right clicking and the print icon in share is available/active/not greyed out.


It is not really a viable option to uninstall Acrobat and reinstall, since this is happening on at least 20 workstations that I know of. We have over 100+


Thanks-

:)

Hello Dennis,

Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.

We understand your concern in this regard.

Are you able to see "Microsoft Print to PDF" option under Device and Printers?

Are you getting this option when you print other documents or from Web browser?

Suggest you to check this issue by printing other Documents to see if 'Microsoft Print to PDF' option appears. Also try printing on web browsers to check if it lists the 'Microsoft Print to PDF' correctly. I understand that Microsoft Print to PDF option
is selected under Windows Features. However let us try clearing and selecting the option to see if it makes any difference.

• Right-click on Start button and select Programs and Features.
• In the Programs and Features window, click Turn Windows features on or off
• Under Windows Features dialog, uncheck Microsoft Print to PDF and click
  OK.
• Reboot your PC once.
• Once you reach desktop screen, reopen the Windows Features dialog, and this time enable the
  Microsoft Print to PDF checkbox, and click OK.

Now see if Microsoft Print to PDF option shows correctly.
