Snow Leopard + Acrobat

Hi all, just thought I'd warn anyone else who likes to live dangerously with the latest software that the Adobe PDF Printer doesn't work in Snow Leopard.

See Adobe's KB article here.

Basically, there's a new option in the Print menu (PDF>Save as Adobe PDF) that's supposed to replace it.

Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be any way to use it in Automator for batch processing (printing to the PDF printer was a nice workaround for batch converting things like Word docs, which aren't supported within Acrobat's own batch processing options.)
 
I am not upgrading to Snow Leopard unti it has the version number 10.6.3 or higher. Got burned with Leopard.
 
I have sooo given up on Acrobat anyway. Preview handles all my PDF's now. Printing is done in <1/4 the time.

Yeah, I'd be happy if Apple provided a batch convert to PDF option (that worked with more than just image files).

Still, if you need to do anything like creating forms, etc., Preview just doesn't cut it.

PDF Pen works wonders. It may be $30 but well worth it.

Looks nice, but Acrobat's "killer feature" for form creation is, IMHO, JavaScript support (which, of course, only works when the form is opened in Acrobat/Reader).
