How do I get my computer to recognize Acrobat X as a new "printer?"

Got a new Mac with Lion OS. I migrated software and files from my old Mac. Along with that migration came Acrobat 7 professional and Acrobat 9 Professional. I purchased Acrobat X and installed it. When opening Acrobat X, it come up fine. BUT when using other software and trying to "print to a pdf" it reverts back to only seeing Acrobat 7 as the "printer."

How do I get my computer to recognize Acrobat X as the new printer?

The Adobe PDF Printer is not available or is unusable in Mac OS X lion. It is the same situation starting from Snow Leopard (v10.6). Acrobat adds a new Save As Adobe PDF command. In the PDF menu, choose Save As Adobe PDF, and follow the onscreen instructions.

With Lion, I believe you lose the PDF printer so you'd have to use the Apple PDF printer.

Print Menu > then choose PDF > then from PDF menu select Adobe PDF or Adobe Quality PDF

Hi,


this page is about Snow Leopard and Acrobat 9, but the issue remain the same with Lion and Acrobat X: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/509/cpsid_50...
