That's a fair point. Unfortunately, I don't have the means to test Win7 and OPW 
together on a standalone PC (my netbook won't run this particular version of 
Win7). Perhaps someone who subscribes to this list and has native hardware with 
Windows 7 could download a demo of Acrobat 9 Pro and try printing to Acrobat 
PDF from OPW?
