I have created a local pdf printer under windows with following settings :

Settings - Tab 1

Settings - Tab 2

However, when I sent a print to pdf printer, I get this dialog box .

No PDF Option

As you can see, there is no PDF option in circled drop down. Moreover, when I click on dropdown, it shows blank. So the user has to manually add ".pdf" extenstion after file name

What settings should I do such that "Save as Type": PDF --> option is visible in the drop down

It's a strnge setup. I would had said it was wrong, and you might have to look at the setup again.

My pfd printer creates a port, and spools the printed pages into a pre-pdf file, you then create the PDF by saving the spool.

Generic/text-only refers to the sort of character-mode typewriter style printers. It won't print graphics or fancy fonts, for example,

  • You can't just save the file as a PDF and expect it to work. You have to find a "PDF print driver", or failing that, 'save as pdf' extension for the application you are using. It's better to get a 'save as pdf', because it preserves a lot of the structure of the document, where these have to be included in a PDF print driver. howtogeek.com/150891/… Dec 24, 2014 at 11:42
