Microsoft Print to PDF is creating MS-Dos Application Instead of PDF

Hello-

I am using the "Microsoft Print to PDF" option of the printer options in the drop-down menu to print (a pdf) as a pdf as I've done numerous times prior, and suddenly, it is printing as a MS-Dos Application. I have deleted the incorrect copy and attempted to reprint with the same outcome. Why is this happening and how do I fix it please?

    Hi,

    I'm Rodrigo and I'll help you.

    On File Explorer, on the top menu, select "View" and check "File name extensions", if it is already checked, keep it that way.

    The filename should end with the extension .pdf, that it is showing after .pdf? Renaming the file to end with .pdf should fix it.

    Does this happen when you use Microsoft Print to PDF on other pages?
