I am using vista os and I am opening a printable PDF in IE7. If I click on the printer icon in Adobe Reader 8 it does not give the option to select a different printer. Is there a way to be able to hit that print icon in adobe reader 8 and choose a printer other than the defaulted printer?

My Product Information:
Reader 8, Windows

Hi jwhitehead,

Have you updated to the latest version of Reader -- 8.1? This is the first version of the Adobe Reader that supported Vista. Also, there is a known issue with 64-bit OS's, which cause the Adobe PDF Printer to not work correctly. Microsoft has released a Hot Fix for this issue which is documented in Microsoft Knowledge Base Article #930627 available at [url=http://support.microsoft.com/kb/930627]http://support.microsoft.com/kb/930627[/url]. Adobe has tested and will support the Adobe PDF Printer with this Hot Fix installed.

Hope this helps,
Lori
