Automatically open a document after Print to PDF

Using Windows 11 / Acrobat Reader - I want to open a large file, choose Print to PDF, choose a few pages, Print and and have the new PDF automatically open. I see posts how to do this with Acrobat Pro or Windows 10 but not with Windows 11 / Acrobat Reader. Microsoft Print to PDF under Printers and Scanners doesn't give me any options and I don't see anything in the print dialog in Adobe Reader.

    Use a PowerShell script or a third-party tool to monitor the print queue and automatically launch the default program to open the file after the PDF printing is completed.
