Have you looked under "Security" in settings when you are exporting the PDF from InDesign (File/Adobe PDF Presets)? There's a box that allows you to restrict printing and other editing tasks which you'll need to deselect. Not sure why you may have problems printing others' PDFs, unless there is something in your Acrobat preferences that has disabled it. If I were you, I'd trash its preferences from your library and start from scratch. Can't hurt to trash the InDesign prefs at the same time, and sometimes I find dumping the Library/Preferences file "com.adobe.mediabrowser.plist" along with the others will also help.

Anybody know?
