Windows 10: When I "Microsoft print to PDF" the destination is hidden in an unrelated tax sub-folder in...

When I "Microsoft print to PDF" the destination is hidden in an unrelated sub-folder in documents -- how can I change the destination to documents itself so that I can find the document without having to do a search function in documents ? Thanks

Print to PDF destination file

how do you change the destination of the Print to PDF ? I know it defaults to the documents folder, but I want to change the destination to a easier location.

Can it be done or is it another "wish list" for future updates?

 

Destination Folder/File for MS Print to PDF

Right click on the Start button > Control Panel > Devices and Printers.

Right Click on 'Microsoft Print to PDF' printer.

Select Printer Properties.

Select the Ports Tab.

Check the FILE: ....Print to File box…..Microsoft Print to PDF

Click OK

Restart the computer



In the Edge Browser:

Click on the Print icon

Choose Microsoft Print to PDF from the Printer dropdown list

Click on Print

The Save Print Output As window opens:

Name the File

Navigate to and open the folder where the file is to be saved

Click Save



My observation is that the PDF is printer more rapidly and reliably than using Adobe Acrobat
