Can a local Adobe Acrobat Writer "printer" be shared with other computers across a network that do not have Adobe Acrobat Developer (not Adobe Reader) installed, and have it be successfully used on those other machines?
I used to be able to do this prior to Windows 2000, but when we moved to 2000 it would no longer work. I've never tried it on XP.

I know I can find many free pdf drivers out there. I've got several of them on my home laptop. But I/S at the office frowns on their use. Besides, I don't want to go around to 40 machines to insstall a driver. Some of us already have bought Acrobat and I'm looking for an easy and less labor intensive way to get eveyone the ability, without having to get it approved by the powers that be.

I use PrimoPDF (free PDF Printer)
www.primopdf.com
Works great and free!
I don't believe you can share the Adobe Printer for obvious reasons (ie. sales). If IS doens't want to yield to freeware, they'll have to buy your more licenses of Adobe.

try PDFCreator, it can be installed as Printer Server, and it is open source software
