Hi Mike, I think I now understand what your problem is. I am using Acrobat 8.1.5 in Snow Leopard. A PDF opened in Acrobat Pro, I go to File > Page Setup - it shows, Format for: Any Printer, but I can then use the arrows to select my Epson TX700W printer or any other printer I have installed and added in Print & Fax.
You are not able to select any other printer, as no other printers show under "Format For"? Mike try this: 1. Open Acrobat Pro first 2. Then go to File > Open to open the PDF in Acrobat Then can you now see your Printers in the Page Setup?
