    Default Distiller Won't Launch!

    I am running CS Premium on a OSX machine. I crashed when getting an Acrobat 6.0.2 update, and it has caused all sorts of problems for me as the install wasn't complete.

    Long story short - i reinstalled Creative Suite after removing every file, preference, etc. I could find relating to "Acrobat".

    Acrobat 6.0 is launching with no problem, but Distiller won't launch. At all. I click on the icon, and it shuts down with no error message within about 3 seconds.

    Can anyone help me to figure out what I might have removed that won't allow Distiller to startup?

    The magazine close starts tomorrow, and I am getting desperate. Thanks!

    Did you ever solve your problem? The same thing is happening to me. I can create PDF files through Quark, but I can not launch Distiller on its own.

    Try to fix permissions. If that doesn't work, try to run the standard
    unix cron jobs using a utility like Mac Janitor. The remove preference
    files and that replace fonts with new copies.
