If your iPhone displays “No AirPrint Printers Found”, the iPhone has not detected any compatible AirPrint printer on the network. In that situation, you will not be able to print a PDF, photo, document, webpage, or any other file using the standard Print option on the iPhone.


First, you need to make sure that an AirPrint-compatible printer is available and properly connected. The printer should generally be powered on, connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your iPhone, and have AirPrint enabled or supported.


Once the iPhone detects the printer, it should appear under the Printer selection in the Print screen. You can then select it and print your PDF, image, document, or other supported content.


If no AirPrint printer is available or detected, the iPhone's standard AirPrint printing function cannot proceed until that connection is established.

Wondering in what way you tried to print the .PDF
