How to add the adobe pdf printer to your computer

Shawn Jordison: In today's video, we're going to look at how to add the Adobe PDF printer to our menu when we are trying to print a document. On some of my other videos I keep getting asked how do you add the PDF printer if it is not there, and this is the video for that. Welcome to The Accessibility Guy Channel. Let's jump right in. Currently in Adobe Acrobat Pro DC, and I'm going to select Ctrl P on my keyboard, and I have the ability to choose Adobe PDF as a printer. Now this is primarily used for when I am resizing pages from within a PDF. But if this Adobe PDF option is not there, here are some steps you can use to troubleshoot. One of the first things that you can do is select the menu button in the top left corner, scroll down to the help option and then select repair installation. This will run Adobe Acrobat through a series of steps to ensure that it was installed correctly. Sometimes this could be the component that is missing to get that Adobe PDF printer to show up. Now the other option that I recommend people try is manually installing the printer. And that's going to be done through the control panel on your computer. So I'm going to type in my search bar in the bottom left corner. And I'm going to open up my control panel. And we want to go to View Devices and Printers. And we want to select the option add a printer. And then we're going to select the option the printer I want isn't listed, we want to select the option at a local printer or network printer with manual settings and select Next. We're going to select the option Use an existing port. And in the drop down menu, we are going to search for the Adobe PDF printer. And here we have it documents backslash star period dot pdf. We're going to select next. And then we're going to select have disk and then we're going to navigate to our Adobe Acrobat folder. It started in my system 32 file. I'm gonna go to Program Files from the C drive, Adobe Acrobat, DC Acrobat, and we want to go into extras, Adobe PDF, and then we want to select the Adobe PDF.inf and then select OK. And that should install your PDF printer so that you can print to PDF. I hope this video was useful for those of you who are trying to print to a PDF but the Adobe PDF printer is missing.
