I have acrobat 9 and everytime I create a pdf document it creates a pdf log file - I have tried everything and have no clue on how to get it to NOT create a log file. Help!!! I am on a Windows XP machine.

Open Distiller (not Acrobat) and choose menu..File..Preferences, then tick the option to delete the log file for successful jobs.

You should check you Adobe PDF printer's properties and make sure the printer's default settings on the 'printing defaults' option 'Acrobat PDF Settings' tab has the 'Delete log files for successful jobs' is checked.
