My Adobe PDF converter won't print through Illustrator

Hi, 🙂

 

My AI used to print to PDF just fine. Sudddenly, i get a "PPD not specified - Default PPD will be used" error message. When I try to print, it doesn't give me a "Save As" option anymore. I've tried the below options and got nowhere:

  • changing the PPD Settings but it won't let me, it sticks to default - changed the defaults too.
  • Uninstalling and Reinstalling my AI and the Adobe PDF Converter
  • Microsoft Print to PDF but it creates random lines/shapes on the document and artwork. 
  • changing the presets
  • editing the converter destination

 

I've asked my colleague to print from their computer but the document wouldn't print. I've tried with previous versions of documents, and still nothing. I have exhausted all options I can think of and in desperate need of help to fix this. 

 

Please help :(. Thank you 🙂

Is there a reason you're printing the PDF instead of just saving it?

I need to send the PDF to our printers with the trim marks.

For me to save it as a PDF i need to follow: File>Print>Adobe PDF Converter>Save As. 

 

The Adobe PDF converter stopped giving the "Save As" Option. It's not working with any other software.

I do have Windows 10 with a x64 bit processor. I did update my AATL and EUTL Trust list. But no change. I have rebooted my PC and software as well. 😞
