I have acrobat Pro and I have always been able to print to Adobe PDF with any type of document. I just hit the print button, it takes me to the print document screen and I select Adobe PDF. It asks for the file to save in and voila, done. Two days ago, it stopped working. Tried everything. I have windows 8 on a laptop. Please help!
