I use Print Booklet quite a bit and have always been able to choose to print as a PDF. Since the update it appears this option is gone? Any suggestions would be welcome. Thanks!

I went in and re-added acrobat as a printer and that fixed it.

I noticed my was gone. I was wondering if it had something to do with the "new and improved" Adobe Acrobat interface. I switched back to the previous interface and repaired the Acrobat installation (under the Help menu). It came back.

When I get time to test it, I'm going to switch back to the new interface and see if it disappears again.

It's here on my system, with the New Acrobat interface active. I rarely do anything to system setup but let the CC manager update things.

You are not alone. I have struggled with this all week in trying to print pdfs to a catalog. I am having the exact same problem. The export option is not as crisp. Any suggestions would be great. Thank you.

The 'print to PDF' function is almost wholly inferior to a proper export. However, export does have more options and more settings; it sounds as if you have chosen a low-quality export option ("Smallest file size"?) instead of "High Quality Print" or the one that should be used for nearly all printing output, "Press Quality."

There are also choices of preset standards that conform to industry requirements, and choosing the wrong one of those might produce results you don't expect.

Try your export again and make sure "Press Quality" is selected as the option.
