During one of my upgrades of Adobe Reader (7 I think), the
installation added a printer to my computer that allowed me to print
to a .pdf file (from any application) as if it were a printer attached
to my computer.  Last month I installed a trial version of Acrobat
Professional.  I decided not to keep it, and therefore un-installed
it.  Now the option to print to a .pdf file is gone.  Any thoughts on
how to get it back?

Thanks

You can't.  Printing to PDF is an Acrobat function only.  There are some 
cheaper PDF printer drivers available.  Do a Google search. My 
experience is, however, you get what you pay for.  The one I tried out 
created files 3 times as large as Acrobat.  You can buy Acrobat from 
EBay fairly cheap too.
