Default Re: Acrobat 7 Pro fails to add the PDF printer

From Kevin Lowe:
I don't know about Image Writer, but I know PDF Maker is implemented as a
printer driver. Drivers from the 32-bit version won't work on the 64-bit
version.

I'd assume MS will have these growing pains sorted out in short order. As
for Adobe, my advice would be to e-mail their support department asking when
a 64-bit-compatible version will be made available.

PDF Maker is an older and not very popular PDF printer.
From Acrobat 6 and forward it's called Adobe PDF Printer.

Good advice. I'll try that.

You're thinking of PDF Writer. PDF Maker is the MS Office compatible feature
that offers additional options when creating a PDF, such as inserting
bookmarks into a PDF file using the heading styles found in a Word document.
PDF Writer was eliminated after version 5 of Acrobat.

You're right. I was thinking of the PDF Writer and not the
PDF Maker.

Yes, but the PDF Maker found in Office apps. when Acrobat is
installed, goes through the Adobe PDF printer. If I click on
the 'Convert to Adobe PDF' button in Word 2003 SP1 here on
WinXP 64-bit Edition, I get this message:

And you definitely need 64 bit drivers for that.
