Windows 10: Scanner saves file as IMG but will not open in pdf like it's supposed to

What the hell did Microsoft do to my computer files?

microsoft print to pdf files will not open after saving

We suggest that you save the PDF files on your device and check if the issue persists. You may also want to associate the PDF files to Microsoft Edge as the default program to make sure that you have a default application that will open all of your PDF files.
Here are the steps:

• Search for Default Programs.
• Go to Associate a file type or protocol with a program.
• Select the .pdf file type and then click the Change program button on the upper right of the
  Set Associations window.
• Choose Microsoft Edge and then click OK.

Let us know how it goes.

 

save Fresh Paint file to PDF

Hi JuliaMPSimmons,

You can save your picture printing it as a PDF.

Follow these steps:

• Open your picture using the Fresh Paint app
• Click the printer icon

• Then, choose "Microsoft Print to PDF" as printer

• Carry on and print your picture as a PDF

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you've already saved your picture as a *.png/*.jpg/... file, you can equally print the file that you have as a PDF (using "Microsoft Print to PDF").

I hope it was helpful.

Cheers!

 

I save a PDF file, can't open it - instead given option to save it aga

Perhaps we could save a lot of jpg's if I knew how to associate a file with the program needed to open it. I use Adobe Acrobat and I thought PDF files on my system were supposed to show the Acrobat logo. If that doesn't work, I will go ahead and post as you and Denis suggest. Thank you for your help. Oops! I just looked up how to associate files - and PDFs are associated with the Adobe Acrobat logo. I'll try to post JPGs of what you requested tomorrow. Thank you.
