How to print as pdf option not shown

As I understand, you want to add the PDF printer, Is that correct?

If you have Acrobat DC installed on your computer, then please follow the below-mentioned steps to add Adobe PDF Printer.

As the Adobe PDF does not include the Adobe PDF printer, as it comes with Acrobat DC, please check, if the Acrobat DC is installed on the computer.

Manually install the PDF Printer

Manually install the PDF Printer

Click Start > Control Panel > Devices and Printers
Select Add a printer
Select Add a local printer
Check Use an existing port and select Documents\*.pdf (Adobe PDF) from the drop down. Click Next
Click the Have Disk… button
Click the Browse… button
Navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\ Acrobat 10.0 or 11 or DC \Acrobat\Xtras\AdobePDF
Select AdobePDF.inf from the list, then click the OK button
You will see many Adobe PDF Converters in the list, however, count six down from the top and click Next (you may need to try this numerous times to find the correct Converter from the list that works with your version of Windows)
Name your printer, e.g. Adobe PDF
Follow the rest of the prompts and your PDF printer should now be installed correctly

If you are later prompted for the ADPDF9.PPD file, it can be found in the C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 10.0\Acrobat\Xtras\AdobePDF\ folders.

Let us know how it goes.
