Resolving Adobe Acrobat X1 Pro Crashes When Printing to PDF

When using Adobe Acrobat X1 Pro, users have reported experiencing issues when trying to print documents as a PDF from other programs or even within Acrobat itself. The problem typically arises when attempting to create a new PDF file, resulting in an error message stating that the Distiller has stopped working.

One common scenario is when users try printing to PDF from applications like Microsoft Word or Mozilla Firefox. The program will crash, and upon restarting, the issue persists. When attempting to create a PDF within Acrobat X1 Pro by selecting 'Create PDF' and choosing a Word document, users may encounter multiple instances of the same error message.

Fortunately, it appears that the problem can be resolved by allowing the process to complete. If users ignore the error messages and continue working with Acrobat, they will eventually receive a notification stating that the PDF has been created and saved in the program's window. This workaround allows users to continue working with their files without interruption.

It is worth noting that some users have reported experiencing this issue shortly after installing Adobe CS6 on their Windows 7, 64-bit machines. However, for others, the problem may arise later in the software's usage lifecycle.

In summary, if you are encountering issues when printing to PDF using Adobe Acrobat X1 Pro, it is possible that the Distiller has stopped working due to an error or a temporary glitch. By ignoring the error messages and allowing the process to complete, users can continue working with their files without disruption.
