Treetop, 

You should have no trouble printing to PressReady from Acrobat (or Acrobat Reader). 

Just make sure you do not convert color space in Distiller. (Use the Press preset or, at least, make sure you have "leave color unchanged" selected under CM policies.) Otherwise you might be doubling up on the RIP function with unpredictable results. 

Although there have been reports of PressReady not playing nice with Acrobat, I have never run into such problems -- neither on Win or Mac platforms. 

The other day I reinstalled PressReady over an existing install on my Win98SE setup because I could no longer print out of Illustrator (cf. "Can't print from Illustrator 10.0.3 Win" 9/26/02 9:19pm </cgi-bin/webx?50@@.1de5e8b2/1> ). Turned out to be unnecessary, but the point is there was no effect on my Acrobat 5.0.5 install. I was prepared to restore from backup in the event the reinstall wrote over my edited PressReady media profiles, but even that didn't happen (which tells me the PR install is well-behaved -- won't write over newer versions of existing files). 

My experience has been that PressReady and Acrobat can coexist without problems, but your mileage may vary.
