Re: How to fix broken "Print to AdobePDF" ?

There appears to be Adobe’s “new” Protected Mode feature.

1. Open Adobe Reader X
2. navigate to Edit->Preferences->General
3. clear the check-mark at “Enable Protected Mode at startup”
4. Click OK to save the changes (acknowledge the warning)
5. Shutdown Adobe Reader X

You can also disable protected mode through a registry key

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\10.0\FeatureLockDown]

“bProtectedMode”=dword:00000000

EDIT: In Acrobat Reader XI the location hast changed to: Edit->Preferences->Security (Enhanced)

Now that might be it...
