Previously we were able to create a PDF of a word document (File, Print,
Adobe PDF) and Adobe would automatically launch allowing you to: view the
results, print it, etc. Now for some reason, it saves it where you specify
it to go, but does not open it automatically. While in "Word", there's an
Adobe PDF toolbar button with an option to "Change Conversion Settings" -
"View Adobe PDF Result" (which I have checked off). That seems to be an
obvious setting to make this happen but doesn't. Do you know if there's
another setting that needs to be changed somewhere? We use: Adobe Reader
6.0, Acrobat Distiller 6.0, Adobe Acrobat 6.0 Professional.

Thanks kindly for any help.

I'm not sure what version of Windows you are using, but your problem is a
printer setting. Find Acrobat Distiller under Windows Settings Printers
and faxes, right click and select Properties. On the General tab select
Printing preferences, now select the Adobe PDF Settings tab. Check the View
Result in Acrobat box, then Apply and OK. See if this solves the problem.
