Subject:acrobat distiller and word From:"Cayenne Woods" <cwoods -at- purplevoice -dot- com> To:TECHWR-L -at- lists -dot- raycomm -dot- com Date:Fri, 06 Oct 2000 17:47:49 +0100
I have acrobat 4.0 installed, and using Word 97. After finding the Create PDF
option in Word didn't do anything, I researched and found something called
pdfmaker. This is supposed to enable me to have a table of contents and
dual-pane window when making a word doc into a pdf.
After installing pdfmaker, the Create PDF option in word now works - or tries
to. But I get an error message about distiller printer driver repair, which is
for version 3.0, then an error message about not finding the printer driver for
Distiller Assistant.
I can see a ppd, I can create pdfs with Distiller, but I can't use a table of
contents. Is there a different way to do this in 4.0? There is absolutely no
info on adobe's site that I have found. Maybe I should go back to 3.0!!
any help appreciated
Cayenne
