Adobe Acrobat XI Pro: Adobe PDF Printer fails to install
Windows XP Pro SP 3
Adobe PDF Printer does not install at initial Acro XI installation.
Uninstall-reinstall does not fix it.
"Repair" under Control Panel does not fix it.
All attempts to manually install a printer with the "Add Printer" wizard of the Control Panel\Printer & Faxes window fail with the final message: "Printer driver was not installed. Operation could not be completed." This occurs for the ten possible "Adobe PDF Converter" available, everyone of them.
Adobe technical support has been ineffective, the five of them went through the install/uninstall and "Add Printer" processes by rot, not knowing what the problem might be. Obviously, the problem is that the Adobe PDF Printer is not recognized.
Since Adobe has not offered support afte five hours & five technicians on the phone, I'd be grateful if any reader has suggestions for a solution. Thank you.
