    Hi, I'm Rodrigo and I will help you.
    What happens when you try to print to PDF?
    Can you see the print to PDF printer?

    Follow these steps on Windows 10 to troubleshoot and get the PDF to print:

    1. Test if Windows can print at all
      1. Select Start > Settings > Devices > Printers & scanners.
      2. Select your physical printer > Manage > Printer properties.
      3. On the General tab, select Print Test Page.
      4. If the test page does not print, fix the printer/driver or connection first (cable, Wi‑Fi, power, paper, etc.).
    2. Check if the problem is only with this PDF or app
      1. Try printing from another app (for example, Notepad or Paint).
      2. Try printing a different PDF or another type of file.
      3. If other files/apps print but this PDF does not, the issue is likely with that PDF file or the PDF app.
    3. Confirm the correct printer is selected in the PDF app
      1. In the app used to open the PDF (for example, Adobe Reader, Microsoft Edge, or another viewer), select File > Print.
      2. Make sure the actual printer is selected, not Microsoft Print to PDF, Print to file, or another virtual printer.
      3. Confirm the printer status shows Ready.
    4. Check print settings in the PDF app
      1. Verify page size, orientation, and layout are appropriate for the printer.
      2. Ensure Print to file or Print to PDF is not selected.
      3. Confirm Pages to print is set correctly (for example, All or the correct page range).
    5. Clear stuck print jobs and restart the print spooler (if nothing prints)
      1. Select Start > Settings > Devices > Printers & scanners.
      2. Select the printer > Open queue.
      3. Right‑click each job and select Cancel until the queue is empty.
      4. Press Windows key + R, type services.msc, press Enter.
      5. Find Print Spooler, right‑click it, and select Restart.
      6. Try printing the PDF again.

    If the PDF still will not print but test pages and other documents do, try opening the PDF in a different viewer (for example, Microsoft Edge instead of another app) and print from there.
