Creating pdfs from chrome plugin no longer works

+1  Expanding on Christoph's explanation.

The chrome plugin:  create pdf & add to pdf is not working for me.

Printing to pdf is not a suitable alternative, because the webpage links are not

captured and there is no possibility to ADD to a PDF using the "print to pdf" option.
The "print" option often mangles web pages badly.  Introduces or loses text,

fails to capture image or YouTube frames.

Environment:  Win10, Chrome 55.0.2883.87, Acrobat extension 15.1.0.3

Note: on the same machine, Acrobat Create PDF 2.0 (Oct 2016) extension mostly works on  firefox 50.1.0

Are there any Adobe fixes or extensions available for chrome that work?

Chrome failure example:

- Gmail, select a message, choose "Print All" on the message

- Cancel that print dialog

- Use Chrome extension "Add to PDF"

- On firefox, I get the actual message content

- On chrome, I get a gmail Sign In / Create an Account page titled

  "Free Storage and Email from Google"

Extraordinarily frustrating after selecting 20 or more messages in Chrome

to capture and later discover I captured none of them;

then try to remember what messages I was trying to capture in the first place.

I have used Acrobat Pro every day for years.

Once circumvention to plugin capture failures, especially if JavaScript is involved,

is to do a browser "Save As full web page". and then use Acrobat to

"Add to PDF from a Web Page" and browse to the .html file saved by the browser.

Note: Trying to capture web pages from Acrobat often fails because of

site requirements to login or support cookies.  This fails in two situations:

- clicking a PDF link and selecting "Add to PDF"

- Selecting Tool "Add to PDF from Web Page"

I have tried nearly all of the PDF capture extensions out there

and all have limitations compared to the Adobe plugins.

Hi Christoph

Please try the following steps:

1. Chrome -> Print -> Print using system dialog -> Select 'Adobe PDF' in list of printers -> Go to 'Preferences'

2. Verify the dropdown list for 'Adobe PDF Output Folder'. The option selected should be 'Prompt for Adobe PDF filename'.

3. Select Ok and retry your steps for printing to Adobe PDF.

Let us know the result.

Thanks
