Printing to PDF missing

I'm still on CS3 and figured out how to get printing separations back, but still printing PDF is missing.

I tried "Repair Acrobat Installation".

I'm on Yosemite.

Please provide a work around,

thanks!

    The Mac OS dropped the ability to print directly to a PDF several versions ago. The only option is the bottom left dropdown menu in the Print dialog which has an option for making a PDF.

    I do not get that option of the drop down menu out of Acrobat. But I do with other apps. Why is that?

    Because Acrobat lets you save a PDF, no need to print to pdf.

    But you can´t convert it to booklet on "Save as", thats exactly a good example of why it should be "print as PDF".

    My website of www.darkhorsell.com is not giving PDF invoices to my clients.

    Maybe ask in the Acrobat forum.
