Do you mean you use different *Acrobat* programs or different *Distiller* programs, or both? 

Acrobat doesn't care about the PPD,and "strictly" speaking, neither does Distiller -- it's the actual printer driver that truly uses the PPD when the printer is created for the first time. But I emphasized the "strictly" because Distiller 5 prefers PostScript files produced with V5 ppd, and Distiller 4 prefers PostScript files created with V4 PPD. 

Further, if you have only one printer named Acrobat Distiller (and you didn't change a name of another one by hand) then you're using only one or the other PPD.
