I'm going to assume you're on the younger side. That's a relatively recent thing. For many many years we had to install PDF printers.
Also the PDF printer is generic, but the export has to implemented for each application individually.
CutePDF was the best.
https://cutepdf.com/products/cutepdf/writer.asp
Started out with it in XP.
Just reading that name made my articulations ache.
It's great is still active though.
Still using it today whenever I need to flatten a PDF with my scanned signature.
Why do you need to flatten it?
So that the recipient can't tell it was an image I pasted onto the pdf instead of a page I printed, signed, then scanned in again.
I'm in my forties. The post we are talking about was made in February 2026. Priyanka Lakhara definitely looks younger than me, didn't even make her Twitter account until January 2024.
What does age or how it worked in the past have to do with a post made... four days ago by someone who is either late twenties to mid-thirties at most?
Also, in those old timey wimey years I was just pirating Adobe Acrobat.
The age comment is not about the age of the posts, but about how you seem so surprised about printing as PDF rather than export as PDF.
Using a virtual printer was the norm until relatively recently, and even then it's still the most effective because anything than can print can use that to generate a PDF.
That's how I still create PDFs honestly.
Didn't want you offend, sorry if came out wrong
No offense taken, just confused because I never had this many problems with PDFs, but as I said, I was pirating Adobe Acrobat for a long, long time so maybe I just didn't run into as many issues.
