New to this and am a bit confused. I have used Acrobat 6.0 standard and use the feature that creates a seperate printer, and then print word/excel docs to create pdf docs. Just bought new computer that is running Vista and need direction. Do I have to upgrade to 8.1 to get this same feature?
thanks

Hi,

You may. Vista shipped a few years after 6 did. You will definately need to upgrade if you are using Office 2007. Acrobat installs buttons into the Office suite of tools that allow you to create a PDF with the click of a button. For 2007, the upgrade was neccesarry.

However, if you still own 6.0. Install that into Vista and look to see if Adobe PDF is an option among your printers. It may work.
