Re: pdf - print to file

Forgive me if I misunderstand you question. I presume that the reason "print to pdf" is not available in your preferred pdf app is that there is no point in doing that. If you want a copy, some apps have the choice to "Save a copy (Ctrl + S in qpdfview) or "Save as" (Ctrl + ...

If you are prepared to pay for an app to migrate apps etc. to a new system -- https://teejeetech.com/aptik-3/ -- works. I used Aptik when it was a free app and maybe a search will still find the free version
