Install Adobe Printer
JonFontaine -  
Hello everyone,

I’m using Windows 11 and the free version of Adobe Acrobat Reader DC.
I would like to install Adobe as a PDF printer, but I'm having trouble doing so.
I didn't find anything on the forum (maybe I searched incorrectly), so I went directly to look for the tutorial on Adobe's website:

https://helpx.adobe.com/lu_fr/acrobat/kb/add-pdf-printer-manually.html

After trying step 1, I'm stuck on step 2 point No. 5 since the dropdown menu doesn’t offer me:

Use an existing port: Document\.*PDF (Adobe PDF)

Can someone guide me, thank you in advance.

    Hello,
    If that works for you:
    Windows 11 natively offers the PDF printer.

      Thank you for your responsiveness and your reply,

      I do indeed have Microsoft Print to PDF natively, but I have been using Adobe to print for a long time and I would like to know if it is possible to do the same with Win11.

        Hello,

        Adobe no longer provides a PDF printer with Adobe Acrobat Reader DC (the one you are using).
        https://forum.pcastuces.com/imprimer_avec_acrobat_reader_dc-f23s38420.htm

        The advice you found pertains to Adobe Acrobat (the full version that is not free).
        It's normal that it doesn't work!

        Similarly, Foxit Reader no longer provides a PDF printer.

        So you are left with Microsoft's option: Microsoft Print to PDF.

        You can also install PDF Creator, which should provide a PDF printer.
