Since last update, I cannot convert from XPS to PDF.

New Here ,
Dec 20, 2018 Dec 20, 2018

Previously, I would right click on an XPS file, click "Convert to Adobe PDF", and Acrobat would open the created PDF.

Since the last update, I get the following dialog:

Adobe Acrobat could not open 'test.xps' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded).

To create an Adobe PDF document, go to the source application. Then print the document to Adobe PDF.

If I do print to PDF, I get a file that is large and lacks editable text.

I would love to include an example file, but there appears to be no way to attach one.

The XPS to PDF conversion feature in the Windows versions of Acrobat DC, Acrobat 2015, and Acrobat 2017 was by default disabled in the most recent update of the product.

You can re-enable this feature by following the instructions at Unable to convert XPS files to PDFs which involves editing the Windows registry and adding a key.

Thank you so much, that did work.

Why was this disabled by default, and is there a list of other features that were disabled? I did not see that in the list of recent changes.

Thanks again!
