Distiller

Ever since installing Acrobat 8, I sporadically get an error message pop up that says "Acrobat Distiller has encountered a problem and needs to close." In all cases, Distiller has not been running. I tried removing the Adobe Synchronizer from the tray and Startup menu, but I'm still getting the error message. I saw no reference to this problem on Adobe's Knowledgebase. Any ideas?

Hi --

When you are using Acrobat, you are also using the functionality of Distiller, whether or not the program itself is opened.

I suggest you repair the installation. Select Help > Repair Acrobat Installation to have the program test and repair any potential errors.donna.
