This is likely related to a problem which started with Acrobat 5:
the FILE: port is sometimes deleted mysteriously as part of 
installing/upgrading Acrobat.

I encountered it myself several times -- with different computers and 
various Acrobat versions.

For the benefit of others who may encounter the same problem when 
installing/upgrading Acrobat:
if the FILE: port has to be recreated, the steps to be taken are listed at

[ A new behavior of Distiller 8.1 is that it blocks all file operations by 
default. Users of FrameMaker-to-Acrobat TimeSavers add-on, which relies on 
Distiller's access to external files, will have to set-up  Distiller 8.1 so 
that it can access files, as described in
