Thank you for considering my panic!
I regularly use MS Print to PDF, it gives me a much more suitable output than either Adobe PDF (It doesn't help that i am beginning to develop a hatred for Adobe constantly resurrecting their updater and reinstalling their program into components of Office 365).
This morning i ran into a big problem - MS print to PDF was generating 0 bit files. Correct name, just nothing there. So i started searching and tried the first idea of unchecking it from the Windows Features, then checking it again to make Windows load all the files, except it would not - it errored before it could complete the process. And so i followed another one that instructed to remove all the drivers from the pdf properties and subsequently run a few commands to bring it back. Nope. Then i worked through the material found at another site, but that didn't bring back Microsoft Print to PDF either (though i was successful at all steps).
If i have to do a full re installation of Windows i can live with that, but it is a HUGE PITA. Is it not possible to download a set of files from MS that would "reconstruct" this "printer"?
Thank you VERY much for considering my problem!
