Sharing distiller as a printer

[Krustee@adobeforums.com]

I'm trying to share out the distiller printer on a communal networked PC but each time I print to the printer from another PC I can't seem to locate where the PDF file is outputed to.

Within the 'ports' tab of the distiller printer properties page the port is setup correctly but points to c:\winnt\profiles\allusers\desktop

I've tried adding a new port specifying a different file location...but no success.

Any ideas?

The Distiller Printer is not technically supported in a shared environment, just have the workstations use their local copies of Distiller Printer.

Thanks for the quick response. :)

Just out of interest... do you know this as a fact?

I have been able to get a *.prn file created but this doesn't equate to anything if you haven't got distiller installed locally.

Install Distiller locally.

Every possible user of the networked Distiller has to have an Acrobat license, anyway.
