How to FIX: Acrobat Reader Can’t Print PDF files in Windows 10 2004.

Method 1. Disable the Protected Mode in Acrobat Reader.

2. Select Security (Enhanced) on the left pane and then uncheck the Enable Protected Mode at startup checkbox at the right.

3. At the pop-up window, ask Yes.

4. Click OK to close the Preferences settings.
5. Close and re-open the Acrobat Reader application and try to print a PDF file. The problem should be solved. If not, continue to method 2.
