Perhaps this is evidence that Dov Isaacs' cautions that having both Acrobat and 
Reader installed on one workstation can cause problems are true.  I never 
disbelieved his cautions, but I also didn't see evidence - until recently.

 

Here, my employer's standard is to allow both programs to be installed on one 
workstation.  For me, the evidence of conflict was that, after a corporate 
"push" of an update, a command in a pop-up menu in Acrobat disappeared.  The 
command had been there and I had used it before the update.

 

¿My fix?  Because I have administrator privileges, I summarily removed Reader 
and repaired Acrobat.  All was well again.

 

As usual, YMMV.

Subject: RE: TIME URGENT ... Missing Adobe PDF printer driver

 

Nonetheless, after a couple of days of attempting both FM and Acrobat updates 
with no change, changing the default application that opened the PDF is what 
finally resulting in getting a working PDF printer. It was a Acrobat update 
that finally did the trick, BTW, but since FM is linked to Distiller, it seems 
to me that should be part of its update function, but maybe not.

I'm just reporting what worked for me. Despite occasional problems like this 
I've never had to reinstall either application from scratch.

Another note: It was an update to Acrobat Reader 11 as a add-in to my browser 
through a security recommendation of my Norton security software that 
originally triggered the problem of losing the PDF printer.
