    Hi @hopeful_Coconut53cb,


    Thanks for reaching out! We're sorry you're having trouble printing your PDF, and we'd be happy to help.

    If Acrobat prompts you to save the File instead of printing it, this may occur when a PDF printer is selected, or the Print to File option is enabled.


    To fix this, could you please try the following steps and see if it helps?

    1. Open your saved PDF in Acrobat or Acrobat Reader.

    2. Go to File> Print.

    3. In the Print dialog box, check whether your physical printer is selected instead of Adobe PDF, Microsoft Print to PDF, or another virtual printer.

    4. Select Advanced and check whether Print to File is enabled. If it is, please uncheck it.

    5. Click OK, then select Print to see if that helps.

    For more details, please refer to our guide: Print PDFs in Acrobat Reader.

    If you're still having trouble, could you please confirm:

    • Are you using Windows or macOS?

    • Are you opening the PDF in Acrobat/Acrobat Reader or in a web browser?

    • Which printer is selected when you try to print?

    These details will help us better understand what's happening.


    We appreciate you reaching out to the Adobe Community. Please let us know how it goes, and we'll be happy to assist further.

    Regards,
    ^BS
