I want to print pdf direct to my hard drive, but adobe does not appear as a printer option. How do i install adobe as a printer?

Hello Andrewh,

As per the description above, you are not able to print a PDF file as Adobe Printer does not appear as an option, Is that correct?

Please refer to the following KB doc to add Adobe PDF Printer manually Adobe PDF printer is missing | Manually install PDF printer

Let us know how it goes.

Windows or MacOS?

There is no Adobe PDF printer on MacOS although you can export PostScript to a file and distill that manually.

Generally speaking though, printing a PDF to yield a new PDF is really a bad idea. Exactly what are you trying to accomplish? Most of the excuses given for doing this are much better resolved by functionality within Acrobat itself for fixing / optimizing PDF files.
