Adobe Acrobat XI no longer prints to pdf

[AdopeFailMe]

I have Acrobat XI print to pdf set as my default printer on my Windows 10 desktop. Recently the print to pdf function stopped working. The PDF Progress window opens and a tmp file is created in the location designated for the pdf but the process never completes. I have repaired the installation from the help menu but that did not fix the problem.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello AdopeFailMe,

We apologize for the inconvenience caused, as per the description above, "Print to PDF" in Acrobat 11 is not working, Is that correct?

Check for any pending updates of Acrobat from help>check for updates, reboot the machine after the updates are installed. Try resetting the preferences of Acrobat, to reset the preferences, refer to How to reset Acrobat Preference settings to default.

Reboot the machine and see if this brings any difference.

If the issue still persists, please remove Adobe Printer, and install it back manually. To install Adobe Printer, refer to Adobe PDF printer is missing | Manually install PDF printer Link: https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/add-pdf-printer-manually.html

I decided to upgrade to Acrobat Pro 2017 so my issue is "resolved". I strongly suspect the problem I was experiencing with XI was triggered by a Windows 10 update. Seems the Windows 10 updates have been breaking everything of late!
