I am running the creative suite 3 and Quark 7.31 with Vista Home Premium. I want to install DISTILLER as a printer and use DISTILLER as the PPD. Help! PLEASE! I was able to do this in Windows 95, 98, and XP!! Winsteng.exe does not work.

I have run the WIZARD but I want to choose Distiller on File as my printer and use the Distiller PPD. So I can Distill the files at a later date using PDF settings I choose.

You can't really do that any more. Someone could put together an INF
file which installed the Distiller PPD with the PostScript driver, but
nobody seems to have done so.

Of course, buying Acrobat will give you a direct printer for making
PDF, but I assume this is not an option.

And how to install this in Vista?
I've got .ppd file (no .inf), I know that driver installer must to take .ppd file to install virtual printer. How to do this (use a .ppd file) in Vista?

There is no way to install this without a .inf file. Contact Microsoft for information about how to create the .inf file.

Dov,

Sorry to bother but MS publisher doesn't allow me transfer the newsletter into a PDF file. Some research brought me here.

Please help. Jimme

(1) Please don't tag new questions to existing threads.

(2) This question has absolutely nothing to do with the PostScript printer driver. Please repost in the proper Acrobat forum, assuming that you are indeed using Acrobat to create PDF.

(3) My condolences to you for using Microsoft Publisher for anything.

(4) What do you mean by “transfer to PDF files”? Do you mean you can’t create a PDF file from a Publisher document? What method are you using to create this PDF file? Do you have a copy of Acrobat installed? If so, what version of Acrobat and what version of Publisher? For the record, for Vista you need at least Acrobat 8.1.
