atw: Re: [austechwriter] Distiller installation for PDF

Hi Jill,

XP (Windows NT 6) should ask for the disc with the printer driver / virtual 
printer install files, which should be on the CD-ROM that came with the full 
version of Acrobat.

(Don't forget to install the PDFWriter virtual printer driver as well, as this 
is a very handy tool in its own right, with some options not offered by the 
Distiller printer, in terms of creating DRAFT and other watermarks in the 
documents that you make.)

If all else fails (..and remembering that this is Windows, so it usually does) 
your best bet would be to simply uninstall Acrobat, restart your PC and do the 
re-install yourself as the administrator to the machine.

If you are talking about a PC that you are using in a shared, corporate 
environment, a likely cause of your problem is that whoever installed Acrobat 
on 
your machine did so under another login to yours and some of the installed 
functions and features, such as the Distiller driver) are unavailable to your 
user account, due to perceived licensing issues.  So reinstalling Acrobat under 
your login should fix things.

HTH.

Michael Granat
