I did not see your original posting so I may be off the mark.  If you are trying to create Adobe (.pdf) files then you must purchase Adobe Acrobat.  The Adobe Reader only allows viewing and printing of pdf files.  It does not allow creating or editing.

When you purchase the full Adobe Acrobat and install it on your computer then it will integrate itself with Word and you will see the new button on your Office toolbar.  It will also create a "virtual" printer in your printers folder.  When you create a document which you want to convert to pdf format, then you will go to File, Print and select this new "virtual" printer and then click the print button.  This is how you create pdf files.

    My question is how can I prepare such a file?  I have Windows98,
Adobe Reader V4, and Photoshop5.
        I had posted this question before, but the reply I got was not
sufficently clear to me.

>After installing Acrobat, you will have a new button on your Office toolbar that >export your document as a .pdf.

        I am not able to find such a  button.

>Or you can manually convert it by printing to the Acrobat printer driver..

        Where do I get such a driver from?

I am posting it again hoping for more help.
            Thanks                Siva Lokanathan
