Problem with printing PDFs

    Hope you guys can help.

    I recently installed Adobe CS2, including Acrobat Distiller. I also installed Office X. In MS Word and InDesign, I could initially print PDFs by pressing 'Print...', making sure the 'Adobe PDF 7.0' driver was installed.

    I'm not exactly sure what changed, although I did have to reinstall InDesign because I deletes some essential fonts from the Macintosh:Applications:Adobe Creative Suite:Adobe Indesign CS2:Fonts folder. I think it was something with the CMaps folder, which still doesn't seem to be in InDesign after I reinstalled it, or Illustrator. But I don't know if this is the problem.

    I'm new to Mac, so I'm having a hard time figuring out what's gone wrong.

    The printer driver is installed (I re-installed it). But when I go to print in Word, a window pops up telling me the job has been stopped. In InDesign, when that doesn't happen, it goes to print, the progress window pops up, but nothing happens.

    I've tried to find answers to this online but haven't had any luck.

    Can anyone help?

    If this helps...

    When I print in Word, in the print dialogue box, a small grey circle with an exclamation mark [ ! ] shows beside the PPD name.

    When I go to print, the Print Jobs window opens, but shortly thereafter, a small, red circle with an exclamation mark shows.

    What does this indicate?

    just scanned your post, I had a problem when adobe updated to cs2, it would print but the file never appeard. Do you have a little option in your print dialog to save as pdf ? if so try that instead

    It's difficult to figure out exactly what your problem is from the post. Are you having problems printing documents FROM .pdf format or are you having problems printing documents TO .pdf format ?

    I have installed Acrobat Reader and it will print any .pdf document - as will Preview.

    To print TO a .pdf file: When I click on Print... in Word (or any app) in the bottom left corner of the Print dialog is a button <PDF \/ > from here I can save the document to a <filename>.pdf which by default is saved in the my Documents folder.
