How can I PERMANENTLY change the default printer to Adobe PDF files using my physical printer instead of SIMPLY printing a pdf in a new PDF file?

Whenever I restart Adobe Reader DC default printer is automatically reset to print any PDF file to the "print to PDF file" as the default printer.  How can I change the "default printer" always default to be my physical default printer, instead of "print of PDF?»»»

PRINTING a document which is already a pdf file to a pdf file is absolutely ridiculous and stupid for the following reasons:

  1. If you want to save a document that is already a pdf in different PDF file, you can use the function "Save as" in the file menu.
  2. If the user select "Print" to PRINT a file they ther NOT try to SAVE a file.  (We'll give credit to the average user to understand the difference between PRINTING and SAVING of a document).
  3. Most of the users do not need to duplicate the storage of a document on their drives to computer
  4. Users of mobile devices, by the fact that they have already downloaded the PDF file have already used storage space of EXTREMELY valuable and LIMITED memory with the download of origin and most certainly so NOT to use more than this space such a resource limited printing!

As an engineer, hardware and software for the past 40 + years to really understand the value of making easy allow the end user to change the configuration of something as simple as the setting for the default printing device to use!

For the record, I searched the online help as well as the forum Adobe Reader community for a thread that explains how to change the printer by default so that whenever I starts the Adobe service it will automatically use the printer default physical connected to my computer to "PRINT" any PDF document.  If I missed something that deals with this problem please point me about it, if no such band rolling exists, then please tell me before making this change.

Thank you for your help in this matter!

Sincerely,

Larry A. Coates

Hi larryc57256426,

You can set your default printer following the steps mentioned in this document KB change the default system printer.

Check in the print dialog box, you have unchecked "print to file" under "Advanced settings."

Kind regards
