Adobe PDF 9.0 Printer

Hi,

Newby here, Very frustrated. I just upgraded from Acrobat Pro 7 to Acrobat Pro 9
Mac OS X 10.4.11

The one feature I use most of Acrobat is the Printer. I typically print things and choose the Adobe Printer to save things as .pdf files.

With Acrobat 7 installed I choose Print from any application. I get the Print dialog box, choose the Adobe PDF printer, click print in lower right corner, I get another dialog box asking for file name and destination.

With Acrobat 9 installed I do not get that dialog box. There is a preference in Distiller for ask for file destination and that is turned on.

I've deleted preferences, recreated the Adobe PDF Printer, and I created a new user account on my machine.

Still this does not work for me. Anyone have any clues?

I am certainly not a acrobat power user. But I've found that the .pdf files created by the mac OS facility for that are not always viewable by Windows users, so I need to figure this one out.

My Product Information:
Acrobat Pro 9.0, Macintosh

I reverted to Acrobat 7 to solve this problem.

The process of removing Acrobat manually was the hard part.

Acrobat 9 gives me the option to not install the PDF printer, wondering if it's worth reinstalling it and omitting that option? It ain't broke so I guess I won't try to fix it.
