Sharing an AdobePDF Printer
I have Adobe Distiller installed on one computer in a network, and I'd like to share the AdobePDF printer on that computer so other users in the network can print to it and create PDF files without having to install the Distiller on each computer.
I've already tried Sharing the printer through Windows. When I try to print to it from another computer, nothing happens. Not even an error message. The printers dialog box says that it's printing, but nothing happens on either computer.
Is this even possible to do, or will I have to install Distiller on all the computers? (BTW, all the computers are running Win2k pro, and some are running xp pro.)
Thanks,

I'm not sure why you don't want to install Distiller on each of the machines.
>>but I would strongly suspect that Adobe will do their best to make this impossible
Correct! It is a virtual printer and as such it can't be shared, the implications for Adobe otherwise would be that on a corporate LAN only one PC would need the software and every user could then "print" to it. The only way to get around that would be to have a dedicated PC & email your docs to it to be converted.
