In Acrobat DC, I've been using for years, used to print to Adobe PDF just fine (easiest way to get decent flattening or cherry picking pages out of a long doc). Now when I click the print button it brings up a dialog that says it's trying to print a ".ps" file. I don't know what that file is but its not a pdf so it's wrong. I have no idea what changed. I have tried deleting the Acrobat preferences folder to make it generate a new one but that doesn't do it. I would really love if there was just a way to reset all Adobe PDF settings to factory default. I'm a little desperate as I use this function all the time and I really don't have the time to dig through myriad levels of settings.
In the Acrobat print dialog, press Advanced and make sure that the Print to file option is not selected. That is normally what would cause this symptom to occur.

Edit: print to Adobe PDF works in all other apps. It has only stopped working in Acrobat.
(apparently you can't edit posts here? rather odd/annoying...)

.ps is postscript, it a format that was used before PDF was created.

Oh wow, thank you so much! I knew it would be something super simple I was overlooking. The button is maybe a tad misleading as I want to print to a pdf "file" so I didn't think anything of that box. But thanks!
Cheers!
