It's possible that the AdobePDF.dll you found in your system32 directory is
the correct one. I didn't look there when I was installing. I'll look at
it next time.

I found DATA1.CAB in the files that the installer created before it ran, in
C:\Documents and Settings\[your user name]\Local Settings\Temp\Acrobat 8.0
(or something similar)

If this crash also occurred with Acrobat v7, I would suspect that the old
problem is still there sooner than I would suspect using the wrong
AdobePDF.dll.

My installation files have long gone unfortunately

That's a good point. The fault might be with Family Tree Maker 16
since Control Panel/Printers and Faxes/Adobe PDF will produce a test
page and other pdf files print out with no problem.

The adobepdf.dll file is version 8.

I'm running Vista x64 and I'm having a problem creating the Adobe PDF
port. It keeps saying:

"An error occured installing port monitor 'Adobe PDF Port'. Please
contact the manufacturer for assistance."

I think it's trying to copy AdobePDF.dll to the C:\Windows\System32
directory but I've tried several ways to get the file there. Could it
be related to UAC? Is there a way to temporarily remove UAC?

trunksy:
During installation you get a search window looking for
AdobePDF.dll. The installation program is looking in the i386 folder for
this file. Click the browse button this opens the i386 folder which is
empty, click the backup button on the taskbar (next to the new folder
button), you will then see 2 folders, AMD64 and i386, open the AMD64 folder
and the AdobePDF.dll file is there, highlight it and click continue. Since
you've already installed the program, reinstall the program, when you get
the choice to modify, repair or uninstall, choose repair. During the repair
you will get the search box. If you're running Windows x64 the procedure is
different.

Yeah, I got through the search box part fine (repointing it to the AMD64
folder in the Adobe Program Files) and it created the printer but it
didn't create the port so my attempts to print document to it goes
nowhere. It doesn't try to save it to a file.
