<div dir="ltr">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.<br>
<br>
I'm just reporting what worked for me. Despite occasional
problems like this I've never had to reinstall either
application from scratch.<br>
<br>
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.<br>

As Dave Stamm pointed out, it is highly likely that your problem was
caused by conflicts between multiple versions of Acrobat/Reader; and
Dov Isaacs, Adobe's PDF guru, has warned against multiple
installations countless times.<br>
<br>
If you have Acrobat, do NOT install Reader!<br>

"Acrobat and Adobe Reader have numerous components that have similar
functionality and can cause conflicts on a machine. The most
prevalent among these conflicts involves the plug-ins for rendering
PDF files in the browser, PDFMaker inside Office Applications, and
the Adobe PDF printer."<br>
