Hello. 

I'm trying to install PDF printer. Adbe DC reader reinstall does not work. Folder \Xtras\AdobePDF with AdobePDF.inf does not exist. Manual download of AdobePDF.inf and setup causes SPLWOW64.EXE error at print.

Help,please.

Win 8.1 64bit

Hi There,

 

Adobe PDF Printer is not available with Reader (free version); as its a premium feature hence only available with either Pro/Standard or Trial version Acrobat only.

The steps mentioned in the above link will not function when only Reader is installed.

Except you can't now, Acrobat 8 is no longer a supported system...

Acrobat DC does work on Windows 8.1

That's good to know, thanks. I observe the original poster said "trying to install PDF printer. Adbe DC reader reinstall does not work"  Original poster - this is part of paid-for Acrobat, NOT in the free Reader. So reinstalling Reader will not help. Nor will manually trying to install something that needs a license.

Thanks for reply.

Thas manual says that it is applicable for Adobe Acrobat DC (wich is not Standart or Pro,  wich is free, I guess)
