Hi -

I am trying to set up my new computer to print to pdf file as the default printer. I had my old computer set up to do this, but somehow I'm not able to do that for my new computer (new is Vista, old was XP).

When I go to print, it opens the Adobe PDF converter window, spools the document, then immediately deletes the document from the printer window.

Any suggestions on what I can do to resolve this? I use Adobe Acrobat Pro version 9.1.0.

Thanks,

Rachel

Not sure I understand your question, but here's how you can set the default printer on Vista:

Hi,

Thanks for the link.

I'm able to change the default printer, however when I try to print - by clicking on the printer icon - it would send the document to the printer, ask for the document name and location to save document, then spool the document to the printer, then immediately delete the print job (as if I had gone into the print settings and deleted the job).

I went into install / uninstall and choose repair option, and that seems to have fixed it.

Thanks!

Rachel
