But no option to print to PDF appears under my printer options, and I don't know if it's possible to do so. If it is, I don't know how to add the 'printer' so that I can print to PDF. I've searched this forum using keywords but didn't find any questions/responses for this issue. Reader does not print to PDF? Thought it did, unless I always used to have acrobat reader pro? I know this is an old thread, but I opened another thread thinking the same thing. I can't tell you how many times I have installed the 'free' reader from their website and it included a PDF printer, so your not crazy.It shouldn't.
Delete Temporary PS File - When enabled, the temporary PostScript file will be deleted when the PDF is created. When disabled, the PostScript file will be copied to the folder where the PDF is created.
Open in Viewer - When enabled, the PDF will be opened in the default PDF viewer after it is created.
Stapler Context Menu - When enabled, the Combine Files in Revu and Convert Files in Revu options will be included in the right-click menu of applicable files in Windows Explorer. Log out of and back into Windows for changes to this setting to take effect.
Folder Options - Click to define the default location where the Bluebeam PDF printer and Stapler will create PDF files. If Prompt for File Name is enabled, you will still have the option to change the folder and the file name before the PDF is created. The following folder options are available:
Source Folder - Select to create PDFs in the same folder as their source document. The source folder option is only valid when using the Stapler to create the PDF file. Source folder is not valid when creating a PDF using the Bluebeam PDF printer.
Last Saved Folder - Select to create PDFs in the same folder that the last PDF was saved to. The folder is remembered each time it is changed.
Custom Project Folder - Select to define a default folder into which PDFs will be created. Click the button to set the location of the Custom Projects Folder.
Note: The Folder Options apply to the Bluebeam PDF printer and Stapler. The plug-ins have there own separate options and are not affected by these settings.
Image Resolutions
The Resolutions list shows the image resolutions that will appear in the Save As window for the Bluebeam PDF printer and in the plug-ins. This does not set the default resolution.

To add a custom page size:
Start the Bluebeam Administrator and select the Printer tab.
Click Manage Pages. The Printer Page Manager dialog box appears.
The path at the top of the dialog box shows the location of the pages the Bluebeam printer uses for printing. It is also where the new page will be saved. Change the location, if desired.
If you cannot change the folder location, you are not logged in with sufficient permissions to add and modify page sizes from this screen.
Click Add. The Add/Edit Form dialog box appears.
Enter the name of the page in the Form Name field.
Select either English or Metric units to define how the page size is measured.
Enter the Width and Height of the page.
Click OK.
If the pages are stored on a network shared location, all users pointing to the shared folder will have access to the new page definition after it has been added. This provides a powerful mechanism for adding specific page sizes that your company uses and storing them in one location. Any new page sizes that are stored in the central location will be immediately available to all users pointing to this location.
