How do I install Acrobat 7 on 64 bit computer so it installs as 32 bit?

Tags: #printer_driver #64bits

I understand now that Acrobat 7's printer driver will only install on a 32 bit computer.  I have a new Windows 7 64 bit computer, but many programs will install in 32 bit mode and I did install the 32 bit version of Windows initially.  However, the print module will not install, which I read is because the architecture of the computer is 64 bit.  How can I selectively install Acrobat in 32 bit mode so I can use the pdf printer driver?

    You can not. And this has nothing to do with 32bit vs. 64bit. The driver model is simply completely different on Windows 7. You need to upgrade to Acrobat X or use and alternative like GhostScript.
