    Default Missing "Adobe PDF" in printer menu

    Our company just purchased a site license for Acrobat Writer 6.0 STD/PRO, I noticed after installing it, that the "Adobe PDF" is missing under the printers. I know that it puts icons in our MS products to print to PDF, but we have some proprietary software that we normally click print and when the printers get listed, the users click on "Adobe PDF" and it creates a PDF for them, It is also missing from Internet Explorer. Can someone tell me how to add this option back?
    Thanks

    The product is called Adobe Acrobat (no "writer"). Try launching the application then do Help > Detect & Repair.

    Sorry about calling it the wrong name, I am sure I will not make that mistake again. It is on a new XP build, and it is the only app on the computer, I just installed it, and if you have to do a detect/repair on a new install, it would clearly be an issue for Adobe. Thanks Gary for your candid post.

    So, did you try it?

    There are installation issues caused by things like antivirus software
    that stops software installing as intended.

    Check the Printers Control Panel to see what printers you have
    installed.
