I have Acrobat DC, when I open a file and then try to print to my printer. It instead saves the file as a PDF. The printer dialogue box opens up and allows me to select the printer as if I was going to print but then when I press print a save as dialogue box opens up. I am assuming this is a checked setting somewhere, how do I fix this?
The problem is most likely due to a particular setting being inadvertently set.
From the Acrobat Print dialog, press Advanced.
Then in the Advanced Print Setup dialog, select the Output pane (left part of dialog).
You will see an option labelled Print to File. Make sure that this option is not checked (checking this option on forces the print driver's output to be diverted to a file causing a Save as dialog to appear).
Press OK and then Print. Your output should now correctly go the printer.
If that does not solve the problem, it could be that the actual printer properties as accessed via Windows has a similar option checked. But if that was the case, all applications would experience the same problem.
Let us know if this solves your problem.
