OK - I'm nuts. On my old still-working XP machine, I have Adobe Acrobat 5 and its Distiller 5 (from 2001). They work - I'm used to them. I can 'print' to Distiller and make a pdf. Now, on my home network, I have a new PC dual-booting Win 7 Pro SP1 64-bit and Win 8.1 Pro 64-bit. I have almost nothing on that machine, as I haven't had a chance to migrate anything from the old XP to the new dual-boot. The other day, I had a web page up on the new Win 7 machine, and I wanted to 'print' it to pdf.
I tried to 'find' the XP's Acrobat Distiller 5 as a new printer in order to 'print' to it over the network, but the Win 7 machine asked for an *.inf driver installer file. Turns out that Acrobat Distiller 5 is so old, it has no *.inf driver installer files at all.
Is there anything I can do so that the Win 7 machine can 'print' to Acrobat Distiller 5 on the XP machine? If not, is there a way to 'print' to pdf on the Win 7 machine nicely and for free (and not have to buy a new Acrobat from Adobe)? (Hey - do I win a prize?).
