    Default Adobe Acrobat 8.....Printer Description File install?????? HELP!!

    When I go to print a PDF it says: AdobePDF 8.0 Printer Description File is not currently installed. A Generic PPD will be used instead.

    I have uninstalled and reinstalled Acrobat 8 Pro but it keeps saying it. I need help, I need to make PDF for job that has to go to press.

    Thanks!!

    You need to check for the ADPDF8 file inside your
    macintoshhd/library/printers/ppd/Contents/Resources/

    Now point Quark (Utilities/PPD Manager) to this location ..
