    I have Acrobat X installed on my work computer which is Dell running Windows 7. I downloaded the free trial of Acrobat XI to check it out. Don't think I need to shell out the money but it was nice. Anyway, when I uninstalled Acrobat XI I lost the ability to print to pdf which is a feature I use very often.

    So I googled the problem and found this helpful forum: Re: Manually installing PDF Printer

    Unfortunately, in step 4 it asks me to select Documents\*.pdf as the port and it's not listed in the dropdown menu. This computer was given to me with Acrobat X on it and I don't have any of the original licensing info so I'm afraid to simply uninstall-reinstall that since I might not restore it properly.

    Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
