Acrobat 8.0 has been released. PDF printing support for x64 systems is
included (finally).

Trial link: http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobatpro/tryout.html

Note - There are cheaper programs that can write PDF files from Windows.
However, I use this since this is what we use at work and it is nice to see
x64 support. However, when I installed it, and it tried to install the
print driver, something interesting happened.

It asked me to insert the "Windows Vista CD-ROM" so that it could find
AdobePDF.dll. This is interesting for a couple of reasons... First, I'm
running Windows XP x64 still, and also, why would AdobePDF.dll be on the
Vista CD-ROM? Anyway, I used WinRAR to dig AdobePDF.dll_64 out of
DATA1.CAB, renamed it to AdobePDF.dll, and told it to use that. It took it
and PDF printing works fine. I am thinking maybe it is confused because
only Vista 64-bit support is included and not XP x64. Anyway, I can't find
any documentation about 64-bit support at all so I'm happy that it is
working.

Glad to hear it's working. I won't hold my breath for them to back port it,
though. And the install sounds seriously borked, but the fix is
straight-forward.

Yep.
I am going to try to install it on Vista x64 soon to see if it's really just
an XP vs. Vista thing or if the install is borked there as well.

I am also using XP 64 edition [OEM] but I don't appear to have
DATA1.CAB on the install disc and WinRAR didn't find it either.
I pointed the installation of V8 to the AdobePDF.dll in my Windows
directory and it loaded OK.

Acrobat V8 opens and prints OK. However when I try to create a pdf
file from Family Tree Maker 16, the program crashes [as it did before
with Acrobat v7] presumable this is because the AdobePDF.dll that was
in my Windows directory is incompatible.


Where can I get hold of AdobePDF.dll_64 then?
