Once saved, use one of these PDF editors to make any changes, if need be. Simply choose a save location on your storage drive, give it a unique name, and hit Save to create your PDF. Step 9: If done correctly, the page will immediately ask you where you’d like to save the PDF document and to give the file a name. When prompted, select Microsoft Print to PDF in the list of printer destinations, and click Print to convert the file to PDF. Step 8: With the function now available for use, simply open the document or webpage you wish to convert to PDF and navigate to the Print function. Step 7: After Windows 10 prompts you to name the print-to-PDF feature - we recommend just assigning it the default name so it’s easier to find - click Next one last time to install the desired printer. Step 6: When given the choice to replace the current driver or use the driver already installed, we recommend simply using the current driver and selecting Next. Step 5: In the following window, choose Microsoft as the manufacturer, then scroll down to highlight Microsoft Print to PDF before hitting Next again. Step 4: In the next window, open the drop-down menu beside Use an Existing Port, select FILE: (Print to File), and click Next. At the bottom, you should see an option to Add a Local Printer or Network Printer With Manual Settings.

When it’s finished, select the option that says The Printer That I Want Isn’t Listed. This will open a secondary window with options for finding printers. Step 3: From there, Windows will attempt to find your elusive printer, and it won’t work (although it may find other local printers). If you don’t see it, select the option that says Add a Printer or Scanner. If you have the Microsoft Print to PDF option, you should see it here with the list of your potential printing options.

Step 2: Once in Devices, select the Printers & Scanners section from the left menu. Step 1: Navigate to the Windows 10 Settings page, which you can find in the Start Menu or search for from the search bar. If, for whatever reason, Microsoft Print to PDF isn’t listed as an option, don’t worry: It’s easy to set up.

After a few seconds, you’ll have a brand new PDF. Choose the location and a name, and click OK or Save. Step 2: You’ll be asked where you’d like to save the file. Step 1: Go to print your document as you normally would, and select Microsoft Print to PDF as your printer.
