Unable to print to Adobe PDF

Question

Since the last update I have not been able to print to Adobe PDF. When I try out of MS Word or Excel, it opens the location to save the file then nothing. Nothing happens. I just tried to printn out of Photoshop. It appeared to start working then the progress bar just stopped. I thought perhaps it was stuck due to the size of the file so I opened Word and tried printing from there. I got the same stuck screen but notice the document name (for the file name I typed in "test") vs the PDF progress bar. The document name is the file I tried to print from Photoshop.

So I rebooted and tried to print the Word doc. The dialog box opened as to where to save. Then nothing.

So I thought I would try a simple Photoshop file. I opened a letter size board and drew a yellow circle on it. Tried to print then got this:

Now the print box seems to be stuck on the document.

I wound up having to print to MS PDF.

HELP!!! I use print to PDF a LOT.

Update:  I uninstalled everything except the cloud app.  Cleaned the registry.  Rebooted, cleaned the registry again and rebooted again.   Reinstalled.  It works now.

For what it's worth, Adobe put a lot of work so you didn't need to print to PDF from Excel or Word. You get a MUCH better result by using Acrobat from the Word/Excel ribbon than you can possibly get by printing to PDF.
