Solve : Acrobat 5.0 Distiller not working with Word 97? |
|
Answer» I am using XP Home edition SP2. When I SELECT Distiller (Acrobat 5.0) from the printer options to make a PDF in WORD 97, the conversion STOPS half way through with an error msg that the document won't print. I installed the Acrobat update 5.0.5 and the result was WORD shutting down when I clicked on Distiller. If I click on the Adobe icon to make pdf the conversion works. I uninstalled Acrobat, restarted the computer, installed Acrobat 5.0 and the same result. Installed 5.0.5 and the same result Sistiller only works with Windows 2000 and up.Quote from: cfmoore on October 28, 2010, 11:33:19 PM I am using XP Home edition SP2. Try PrimoPDF. Quote WORD 97,You mean Distiller only works with Word 2000 and up?I did solve my problem but not in the way I expected. I had always used Distiller by going through File > print > select Distiller. I did not realize that the Acrobat tool bar ran Distiller using a MACRO PDF Maker, which fires when the Acrobat button is clicked on. Still does not work if go File > print > select Distiller but that is ok because I can access the same formatting with the Acrobat meun selection.The Acrobat SITE interestingly does not list Office versions...just OS versions. And it starts with Win2K/Quote from: cfmoore on October 29, 2010, 07:11:45 PM Still does not work if go File > print > select Distiller but that is ok because I can access the same formatting with the Acrobat meun selection.I REPEAT, PrimoPDF is a good Word to PDF converter, and numerous other freeware options can be found on the internet. |
