I just have one little Question - how am I able to convert Publisher (97) files to PDF Format. I own a lot of Adobe Products inclusive Adobe Destiller but for one reason it does not work.
Is someone able to tell me how to solve my problem? or to give links to helpful sites
 
Well its me again I guess I know what my problem is. I have MS Publisher as well as Adobe Distiller but when I go to PRINT in MS PUBLISHER no Adobe Distiller does appear. How do I sucsessfully install Distiller so that it does appear in the field "PRINT
 
redrobin 19,

To convert to pdf from publisher:
1. Open the publisher file.
2. Click >File >Save As. In the "Save As Type" drop down menu (at the bottom of the "Save As" dialog box) click "post script."
3. Go to the location that you saved the postscript file and double click the postscript file. The Adobe Distiller should automatically pop up and begin distilling the file.

If Distiller does not automatically appear, you will have to open Distiller and manually convert the file. To do this:
1. Open Acrobat Distiller.
2. Click >File >Open.
3. Choose the file that you wish to convert.
4. Click >Save As. The file should then be distilled.

You may also need to adjust your Distiller settings so that no fonts are sent to Distiller.

To do this:
1. Click >Start >Settings >Printers.
2. Right click on the Acrobat Distiller Printer icon.
3. Click >Printing Preferences. An "Acrobat Distiller Printing Preferences" dialog box appears.
4. Click the "Adobe PDF Settings" tab.
5. Uncheck the "Do Not Send Fonts to Distiller box.
6. Click "Ok."

Thanks!
 
I am using Publisher 2002 and Acrobat 5 in Windows 98se and have no problem printing to the distiller which shows up as a print option.

Maybe you should upgrade.
