OT: Can't get AcroPro7 to distill or Save As PDFs from Frame

[John Pitt]

I've finally upgraded from Acro5 to 7 Pro. But while my new Dell XP Pro 
laptop happily produces PDFs from Frame and other apps, I cannot get PDF 
output from Frame using my win2k home PC.

Both boxes previously ran with Acro5 (which was upgraded from v3 to v4 
then v5).

The win2k box, a 2-year-old P4 with loads of space, RAM, etc., was built 
using the mirror of my previous PC (which was built from the mirror of 
the one before that). So it has had a large amount of s/w loaded and 
unloaded over the years.

When I use Save As PDF in Frame 6.0, 7.0 and 7.1, the screen flickers, 
but there is no output. When I try to print to a ps file (using Adobe 
PDF), I get the following message:

"Cannot write to specified print file"

Everything is local, I have loads of space, an empty Recycle Bin, and no 
other problems.

Moreover, I can use both methods to produce PDFs in all the MS apps I 
have tried so far.

Does anyone have any idea what's wrong?
