The distiller comes in 2 forms, a distiller server and the distiller printer driver. The dustiller server is the equivalent of a RIP engine, wjhich is capable of batch PDF file creation, specced and capable of handling PDF conversion jobs beyond the capabilities of the localized distiller printer driver. Adobe don't take a lot of care to discriminate between the 2 versions of the distiller and unfortunately neither did I in my definitive statement. We did some work in a legal office to get the distiller running under Metaframe, together with Konica network twain etc. I may be confusing the app flags we used to get network twain going with what we did with distiller. Will have to see if I can dig it up. regards, Rick Ulrich Mack rmack@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Volante Systems 18 Heussler Terrace, Milton 4064 Queensland Australia tel +61 7 32467704 -----Original Message----- From: Minero Hector B DLVA [mailto:MineroHB@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Friday, 18 July 2003 9:53 PM To: 'thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx' Subject: [THIN] Re: Acrobat 6.0 PDF Maker issues with Citrix Adobe PDF Creation When creating Adobe PDF files on Windows2000 clients, Distiller Printer, PDFMaker and PDFWriter are all supported. PDFWriter is the only supported mechanism for creating Adobe PDF files on Citrix clients. Simultaneous Use of Acrobat, Distiller and Locked Files A user cannot access the same PDF file from two different clients. Users on Citrix clients must have administrative privileges to use the Distiller Printer. Performance can degrade if multiple users attempt to use the Distiller Printer simultaneously because print jobs are queued in the spooler. To alleviate this problem, the administrator can set the Distiller Printer property to enable the spooler on the server, which allows client applications to finish the print job even though the PDF creation job is still pending in the server queue. _________________________________ Hector Minero NSWCDD Code K55 Ph: (540)653-8859 Fax:(540)653-8575 -----Original Message----- From: Mack, Rick [mailto:RMack@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, July 17, 2003 5:56 PM To: 'thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx' Subject: [THIN] Re: Acrobat 6.0 PDF Maker issues with Citrix Hi Hector, As unbelievable as it sounds, there's actually an Adobe document for this.

(NT4/win2k etc) you're running on. Acrobat 6 is the first version of acrobat that doesn't use kernel mode printer drivers (NT 4.0) for the PDFwriter and distiller. I couldn't run Acrobat 5.0 on Windows server 2003 because I had disabled loading of kernel mode printer drivers, so finding out that Acrobat 6.0 didn't was a plus. Of course in the mean time I also discovered that PDF996 version 6.15 and later also used native win2k/2003 non-kernel mode drivers so Adobe have lost quite a bit of business. On the other hand, it means that the PDFwriter etc will NOT work on NT 4.0.
