I do not understand how to use the microsoft print to pdf in order to print a specific pdf file, and save it (using the microsoft print to pdf) as another pdf file.

I searched and found this issue:

How to programmatically print to PDF file without prompting for filename in C# using the Microsoft Print To PDF printer that comes with Windows 10

however, i do not understand where is the input pdf (i.e - the file to be printed).

I guess that's something very basic that I am searching... help will be much appreciated!
