Saving files as .pdf

I just upgraded from Windows Vista to Windows 7. I downloaded Adobe Acrobat 9 for compatibility. Although I can open existing .pdf files, I cannot open newly saved ones. In fact, I cannot even locate them in the folder that I saved them in. HELP!

So the problem is that you've downloaded Adobe Acrobat and you're using Acrobat Distiller to create new PDF files, but after you think you've printed and saved the file as a PDF somewhere on your computer, it's no where to be found?

  • Are you receiving any error messages from Acrobat?
  • In what directory are you saving the new PDF files?
  • Does creating PDFs work if you download a different PDF printer driver like Primo PDF?

It's a strange issue, but I have Acrobat 9 Pro running successfully on my Windows 7 machine, so you should be able to get it working correctly too, once this issue has been ironed out.

Actually this is a known issue in my environment and I have discovered that it saves the files with the extension it was generated with like aspx or dll etc. Still looking for the reasons as the save shows adobe or pdf but fails to apply the proper extensions. P.S. if you add .pdf to the name instead of letting it default it will save correctly.
