Printing to file from Adobe PDF printer doesn't combine under W11 like W7

[Arthur36002766n044]

Would love help on this.  Have an application that when you print a 'report' it contains multiple individual pages, each it's own printer file.  When outputting to an actual printer this is no problem- it all prints continuously.  But when printing to the Adobe PDF printer then the Adobe driver asks for a new filename for each page.

The trick that has always worked until W10 is to choose 'print to file' from the application's printer dialog box where you also select the Adobe PDF printer.  Then in the same application dialog box you give a file name- 'something.ps'.  What happens is all the individual pages in the report are coalesced into the .ps file that can be distilled to one pdf.

This no longer works under W10.  Only the first page winds up in the .ps file- the rest are gone.  So for a report with many pages now looking at entering many file names in order to afterwards combine them into one pdf.

Thanks for any ideas.  The application itself is frozen and can't be changed.

The application is the problem. And Windows 10 is the problem. The application seems to create for each page a new print job.

I found a post that said I could set an output folder in the pdf printer preferences.  Then also set 'Replace exsting PDF' to never.

Now if the application sends the individual print jobs to the printer, not a file, they will all wind up in the specified folder and in an Acrobat window without having to specifiy a file name each time.

The trick now is to combine them.  If I combine them inside Acrobat the order is maintained.  If I combine them from the folder the order is not maintainned.  The latter would be nice because there's a setting to remove files after combining.  That option doesn't work when combining open files in Acrobat because since they are open they can't be removed.
