That is what I did. Thank for the memories!! So how do I get Adobe as a printer option? Any input? It is not there now.
If you have Adobe Reader (the free version), the writer should install with the reader, at least I'm pretty sure of that. Maybe you could reinstall Adobe Reader from Adobe's website, see if that puts an Adobe PDF Writer in your printer folder. It's free!

However, I tried to do what they said but it didn't work.
As far as Adobe's website PDF maker, the one you make through their website, they let you make a few for free, and it worked incredibly well, for me. I converted WP5.1 for DOS documents on it and they were beautiful. It's pretty affordable, too. But you should be able to make these PDFs on your computer, I just don't understand why you don't have the writer already there, unless you don't have Adobe Reader installed.
One more thought, and I'll let you be. If worse comes to worse, go to Ebay and for $19.95 you can buy Adobe Acrobat as a download, too. It's really the standard in the industry and everyone should have Reader on their computer so it's probably the best way to go. The only thing I'm not sure of if you do a search from your computer, not from within Acrobat, if it will pick up words in Acrobat documents. If it doesn't it means that if you're doing a search, you have to open up every single Acrobat document, oh, wait, I think you can search all your Acrobat documents from inside Acrobat.
Okay, I'm finished, now that you're probably totally confused.
But, hey, let me know how everything works out! Regards....
