Per an earlier forum, I extracted adobePDF.dll_64 to my desktop before i did this. It is in the Adobe Acrobat 8 Standard/Data1 folder on the Adobe CD.
If you have an Adobe PDF Printer installed, "Right Click" and "Remove Device" before moving forward. Leaving the old device will only conflict with the new install.
1) Devices and Printers
2) Add Printer
3) Choose a printer port ( Create a new port)( Local Port)
4) Name your port ( I named mine Adobe PDF Printer)
5) Install the print driver (Adobe) (Adobe PDF Converter 8.6.0.0
6) Use current driver
7) Name your printer
8) Do not share
9) Finish
RIght click on Adobe PDF Printer
Printer properties BEFORE printer preferences
1) Ports ( Select the "Adobe PDF Printer" port you just created)
2) Apply
3) OK
Printer Preferences
1)Adobe PDF Folder ( Select Adobe PDF Printer)
2) UNCHECK "Do not send fonts to adobe PDF
3) Apply
4) OK
I have to rotate the final doc 90 clockwise, but at least it works now!
I hope this helps someone!
I can recommend Freeware PDF Printer & Creator :)
aeyeball, if the port is not listed under the "use following port" you will need to create the port in the "create new port" area. we can help you with that too if need be.
Performed all the steps, from 'have disk' to the Adobe directory, selected the AdobePDF.inf from "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 8.0\Acrobat\Xtras\AdobePDF" and then clicked next 2 times and then got the error message
'Printer driver was not installed. Operation could not be completed(error 0x000005b3)'
RAn the repair program several times but the same error message. please help
had the same problem and after searching the web:
9. Go to Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Devices and Printer
10. Right click the "Adobe PDF Converter" > Printer Properties > tab "Port"?????
where is it step
11. "Add Port..." > "New Port Type..." > Browse to the same folder ("C:\Windows\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe 8.0\Acrobat\Xtras\Adobe PDF") >> [Open] >> [OK]
12. Select the "Adobe PDF Port" > "New Port..." >> [Close]
13. Close everything
14. Return to right click the "Adobe PDF Converter" > Printer Properties > tab "Port"
15. You should see "Desktop\*.pdf" (Adobe PDF Port) listed there >> [Check] >> [OK]
It should work now.. it did for me.
Fyi, I am using Win 7 Pro 32 bit.
Thanks, JL, your suggestion still rocks on Windows 7 Pro with MSO2007 Basic using Adobe Acrobat 8.0!!!!
Was a little confused at line 4 but just decided to ignore the suggestion to "change the port to "Desktop \*.pdf" (Adobe PDF Port)". Instead, I just clicked NEXT, then (at the "Install the printer driver" prompt box) selected Have Disk and kept on with the rest of your suggestions (5 on). Presto, I could see Adobe Acrobat PDF Conversion as my printer.
I still don't see the PDF ICONS in any MSO programs though. Will continue to look for this solution. Thanks again.
I was having the same problem with Win 7 Professional and Acrobat 8.0. The simplest solution is to download an update from the following link and it will resolve the issue.

Hope that helps.
Just an aside here but Adobe Acrobat 8.x reached its end of support a lttle over a year ago. Continuing to use it could present security risks.
