Set Adobe PDF printer properties (Windows)

In Windows, you can usually leave the Adobe PDF printer’s properties unchanged, unless you have configured
printer sharing or set security.

Note: Printing Properties are different from printer Preferences. The Properties dialog box contains tabs of options that
apply to any type of printer; the Preferences include conversion options specifically for the Adobe PDF printer.
