I use Windows 10 with the latest updates. My desire is to create a PDF document in a folder located within my Document file structure. When I create the PDF using "Microsoft Print to PDF", then navigate to the target location, I find that the file was created as expected. However, I receive an error message when I try to open the file with either Adobe Reader 11.0.14 or with Microsoft Edge. Adobe says "Adobe Reader could not open <filename> because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged". Microsoft Edge states: "Couldn't open PDF; Something's keeping this PDF from opening". However, if I create the same PDF document using "Microsoft Print to PDF" but set the destination as the desktop, then the file opens both with Adobe Reader and Microsoft Edge from the desktop. If I copy that "good" file from the desktop to the folder I created within my Document file structure (the same folder I discussed at the beginning of this post), then both Adobe Reader and Microsoft Edge can open it. I demonstrated this issue when using "Microsoft Print to PDF" for both a Microsoft Word file as well as for a Firefox web page as the sources for the print function. I uninstalled and reinstalled Adobe Reader but no change in the issue. Symptomatically, printing to a folder within my Documents file structure seems to corrupt the created PDF, but not so when printing to the desktop. I don't need the new features of Adobe Reader DC so I had no plans to update to that version. Any thoughts on why any particular destination of a "Microsoft Print to PDF" file could cause a file corruption, and if so, how do I stop that corruption from happening?
Another question: How can I set an option to automatically open a PDF filed created by "Microsoft Print to PDF"?
