Why is the 'print' option missing when right-clicking a PDF?

For some reason, the "print" option no longer appears when right clicking a PDF file on my Windows 10 desktop. Because of this, I'm forced to open and print PDFs individually rather than being able to select and print up to 15 at a time.



Strangely, this issue only applies to PDFs, as the print option is available when right-clicking photos, Word documents, and .txt files.



How can I fix the print option not appearing when right-clicking a PDF file?

          The right click print option will be available after installing a [PDF
          application] with print capability.
          Install Adobe Reader DC or Nitro
          PDF Reader. Associate the PDF with it. Select multiple PDF files in a
          folder. Right click on the selection.




          Context menu with Adobe Reader DC as default PDF reader (print available):

          Context menu with Microsoft Edge as default PDF reader (no print option):
