  1. Why do PDF s not print properly on Windows 10?


    I find I cannot print pdfs clearly and properly on Windows 10.

    There was never any problem before Windows 10 was installed, and printing still works fine for word documents.

    Please help

    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.

    pressed that link it took me to a Microsoft page about Bluetooth. I'm not sure how to get round this?

    How can I reinstall the pdf printer?

    Thanks!
