Janice, in order of likelihood I'd definitely spend the time to copy your docs to your desktop (being sure that all the links work afterwards, of course) and then testing the PDF generation after that, as the most important test. There have been tons of postings on the forums over the years where folks have resolved slow PDFing times with this one change. And if your IT folks balk, tell 'em to post on here, we'll set them straight in a hurry <g>

As to having the automatically distill process working, you could possibly have a bad/corrupted install of Distiller and the Distiller printer instance which might be causing the output not to be "auto-distilled" when you print to the Adobe PDF printer.

I think it might be wise to tackle one issue at a time, though -- following the thread can get pretty tricky when troubleshooting multiple issues.
