(1) Adobe does NOT support concurrent installation of both Acrobat 4 and 5.

(2) The ONLY versions of Acrobat that is compatible with Windows XP are Acrobat 5.0.5 (a free upgrade from 5.0) and the three versions of Acrobat 6.

(3) The PostScript driver used to create PostScript for distillation is the standard Windows XP driver. You don't need to download anything special and should NEVER create a generic PostScript printer driver instance for either generation of PostScript for a real printer or the Distiller. PostScript generated by the drivers in conjunction with a PPD file is very device-specific.

(4) Full and proper installation of Acrobat yields a PostScript printer driver instance labelled Acrobat Distiller for Acrobat 4.x and 5.x or Adobe PDF for Acrobat 6. If you don't have such a PostScript printer driver instance installed on your system, you have a defective / corrupted installation of Acrobat. Uninstall all versions of Acrobat, reboot, and totally reinstall Acrobat 5.0.5 (or upgrade to 6). If under Acrobat 5.0.5 you still don't see an Acrobat Distiller PostScript printer driver instance, it is indicative of a corrupted Windows XP installation. See <http://www.adobe.com/support/techdocs/3099e.htm> for workaround information.

(5) PDF files are created by printing directly to the Acrobat Distiller or Adobe PDF PostScript printer driver instance. PostScript is created and directly routed to the Distiller for processing.
