    Hi print to file default,

    Please forgive me, but I'm not sure I follow what you're trying to do. Are you trying to print a PDF to PostScript (that's typically what "print to file" refers to). Or, are you simply creating PDF files, and you want them to save to you hard disk? I'm not sure why you would want to print a PDF file "to file."

    Are you perhaps using the Create PDF Desktop printer, which automatically saves files to your Acrobat.com online account? (If so, please be aware that Create PDF Desktop printer will be retiring shortly. Please see Adobe CreatePDF Desktop Printer is no longer available.)

    Please help me understand what you're trying to achieve, and we'll get this sorted out.

    Best,

    Sara

    Dear Sara,

    Thanks for your note. Last evening I bought the subscription for the PDF Printer. If it will soon be no longer available, I would like my money back. I want to be able to use it for at least this entire school year.

    I teach. And all I want to do is make a worksheet, print it as a PDF and then save it as a PDF file on my computer. From there I can post it to my website so my students can access it. This is all I want to do. The subscription is $14.99 per month which seems like alot of money for this but we got a new computer and I need PDF files.

    Thank you. Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated.

    Have a nice day.

    Denise
