    This is all fine and good, but what do you do if clicking Save As Adobe PDF gives you a message that it is not supported?

    It sounds as though you are talking about a menu item in WORD. To know, it would be useful to know what application and version you are using as well as what version of Acrobat. Also, what is your OS? Chances are your PDF Maker is not compatible with your version of WORD.

    You are probably on a Mac. If you really want create a new PDF file from an old pdf file, choose the Save As Postscript option. Then take the resulting postscript file and distill it.

    When I use the print command I now get  "Before you can perform print-related tasks such as page setup or printing a document, you need to install a printer."   It was working and displayed 'adobe pdf' but that is gone.  and also my 'save as adobe pdf' is missing.   Any ideas?

     

    Mac  10.7.4
