What's the purpose of "Microsoft Print to PDF" printer?

I'm somewhat new to Windows 10 but I noticed something called "Microsoft Print to PDF" that shows up as one of the available selections when choosing which printer output should be directed to. I've tried it a few times thinking that it might be a substitute for other printer drivers used to create PDF format files rather than actually printing. I believe Adobe Acrobat (i.e., the fee version as opposed to Adobe Reader which is free) includes such capability.

 

However, I have yet to create a useful file with it. Sometimes it simply fails with an error that doesn't say why. Other times it creates a file with a PDF extension but that file cannot be opened with Adobe Acrobat Reader.

 

Am I failing to grasp the purpose or is this simply a useless feature of Windows 10 that ought to be removed?
