Oh lord.  i have windows 10 and I'm trying to print some tax returns out of TaxAct and all i get are black lines.  The instructions tell me to go to the registry, but i have no idea where the registry is.  How do i go any where within Adobe to fix my problem.

Please - where is this Registry that I need to go to in order to solve my printing problems with Windows 10?

Hi kimn36527497,

You might try the following steps and see if it works:

1- Press and hold Windows key and press R on your keyboard, type regedit in the run dialogue box then press enter.

To check if you have 32 bit or 64 bit system, right click on Start menu>and select System. 

2- Under registry. navigate to the following location:

     For 64 bit systems: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\DC\FeatureState

     For 32 bit systems: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\DC\FeatureState

3- If FeatureState is not present under DC, right-click DC and then create a Key with the name FeatureState.

4- In FeatureState, right-click and create a DWORD with the name 4033257. Set its data field to 1.

Thank You,

Shivam
