Windows 10 (21H1) missing Adobe PDF Printer for Adobe Acrobat DC (32bit)

I have tried all of the posts listed here and there are several of them.

Of my Cloud Subscription I have installed only Adobe Acrobat DC and whilst this works and I can open word and Print to Adobe PDF I do NOT have an Adobe PDF printer listed in Device and Printers.

I have uninstalled (3 times now in total) 

Used the cleaner

Installed using both the Cloud Console (This appears to the 64 bit version)

 

As well as the download  Acrobat_DC_Web_WWMUI.zip (This appears to the 32 bit version)

I have followed this article https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/add-pdf-printer-manually.html 

All to no avail. 

The constant error message I receive Printer Driver was not installed.

(I have tried all 10 Options "scroll around 6 down" what a waste of time this is.

I have spent way too much time on this as such my search history now looks as follows.

I would welcome any constructive help.

Thanks Philip

    Guys! Problem fixed! all you need to do is installing the Acrobat Adobe through ADOBE CREATIVE CLOUD!

    If you download the regular installer for Adobe Acrobat Reader, it will not install the "ADOBE PDF" Printer!

    Thank you, appreciated. Now working again and who would have thought patch/update was required 😉

    City of St Petersburg here. We are have the same issue with about 200+ users.

    This https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/add-pdf-printer-manually.html  does not solve the issue.

    Impacts both Windows 21H1 and 21H2. build 1348.
