    Hi, I have read on the forums almost the same issue but instead of printing the pdf from chrome or a browser, this is just by opening the PDF file from explorer.

    double-clicking the PDF file, Adobe Reader DC opens, Print and it prompts me to save as. I am a Window 10 user. Even in the print dialog box, the print to file is nowhere to be found, I also click the Advanced section, to look for "PrintFile" n/a.

    For now, I right click the PDF file, and choose Open With -> and I choose Microsoft Edge, then print it from there.

    Try selecting your printer under "Printer" > click on "Advanced" and check if print to file option is visible.
