Instructions

The Citrix PDF Universal Printer driver enables users to print documents opened with hosted applications or applications running on virtual desktops. When a user selects the Citrix PDF Printer option, the driver converts the file to PDF and transfers the PDF to the local device. The PDF is then opened in a new browser tab for viewing and printing from a locally attached printer.
 
We are now installing the PDF driver as part of the VDA installation. This driver used to be installed as a standalone MSI available as an additional component along with HTML5/Chrome receiver.
 
Follow the steps below to enable users to print documents opened with hosted applications or desktops:-
 
1. Install the Citrix PDF Universal Printer driver on each machine providing desktops or applications by running the VDA installation wizard and checking the option Citrix PDF Printer driver.


 
2. Once the wizard is finished, it will install the Citrix UPD driver.  

3. In Citrix Studio, select the Policy node in the left pane and either create a new policy or edit an existing policy.

4. Set the Auto-create PDF Universal Printer policy setting to Enabled.

Note: The VDA installers no longer offer options to control Universal Print Server PDF printer driver installation. The PDF printer driver is now always installed automatically. When you upgrade to the 7.17 VDA (or a later supported version), any previously installed Citrix PDF printer driver is automatically removed and replaced with the latest version.
