Thread: adobe professional 8 in VISTA

Hello,
The acrobat professional 8 worked fine in XP. I try to install the same for Windows VISTA home premium. Only reader is working. Its not installing the virtual printer. If I am trying to make the same, pdf maker files are missing...adobe.dll is missing. Any one has solution for the same?
good day

I am asking this because, Acrobat ver. 8 has doesn't support 64 bit and hence the printer wont get installed and only the reader will work.

There is a known issue with 64-bit versions of Windows which causes the Adobe PDF Printer to not work correctly. Microsoft has released a Hot Fix for this issue which is documented in Microsoft KB Article 930627 on the Microsoft Help and Support site at <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://support.microsoft.com">http://support.microsoft.com</a><!-- m -->. This Hot Fix is also included in the Windows Vista Service Pack 1 (SP1) update. Adobe has tested and will support the Adobe PDF Printer with this Hot Fix installed. This Hot Fix is also included in the Vista SP1 update.
