OK...my mistake... I thought you worked for MS. I apologize.

You obviously didn't understand what I said PA Bear. I did not say I
couldn't read pdf files in IE8, I said I couldn't convert web pages to pdf
files. That is a substantial difference from simply reading pdf files. If a
web page is in pdf format, obviously I can simply save the page as a pdf
file, however I cannot convert an html page to pdf using Adobe 7.1.0 Pro
(fully patched version) in IE8. The Icon appears in the IE8 toolbar with its
drop-down menu, but does not work. This is a problem with IE8, not Adobe
Pro, and it's the same whether IE8 is installed in Win XP or Vista. It
renders a specific, often used, tool of Adobe 7 Pro useless, which works
perfectly in IE6 & 7. Adobe support has no idea why it doesn't work... it
should!
