My pdf files no longer print. After pressing PRINT the "Print to File" window comes up and I have to press SAVE AS to go to the next step. Once the pdf is saved it is no longer a pdf but a PRN file. When I try to print the PRN file an ERROR message pops up. I need to be able to print my original pdf files. Please advise.

Sounds like you somehow accidentally checked the Print to file option in the Advanced print dialog. Uncheck that and this problem should go away.
