Mayday!

I've got CS3 and CS4 on PC (XP, SP3). (I also still have CS2
installed, but only because I'm afraid uninstalling it might screw
something up.)

Not sure if this is an Acrobat problem, an InDesign problem, or
operator error. Yesterday I finally got tired of the pop-up nagging
me to download and install the Adobe updates, so I said yes. Now I
can't print to PDF from InDesign using Acrobat Pro (9.3.0). I get this message:

===========================Adobe InDesign
Printing Error: Cannot print or export to the specified device. There
may be insufficient disk space on the device for the file you are creating.
========================= I can print to PDF in various other apps -- AI CS4, PS CS3, Word, and
Excel are the ones I've tried so far. I've tried shutting down my
other apps before trying to print to PDF. Doesn't work. I'm using
print presets that I set up a long time ago. Tweaking them or
switching to other print presets doesn't make any difference.

I've got 32 GB free on my boot drive, and 108 GB free on my work
drive. Decent amounts of space on scratch drives. (Maybe the disk
space message is a red herring?) I've tried printing various files
from both CS3 (5.0.4) and CS4 (6.0.4). And these are very small
uncomplicated files (business cards, etc.) that printed perfectly
fine before I ran the updates.

Anyway, this is a massive problem for me, since I do a lot of work
for a printing company that uses an old RIP, and they can't print
PDFs I create by exporting (I assume it's a RIP problem, but I have
no way to finding out for sure -- the printer doesn't know).

For now, I'm printing to PS (which still works) and then distilling.
But I don't like the extra step. And I can't remember if my client
can even output PDFs that are produced using that method.

I'm hoping there's a quick fix ... any suggestions? If not, how would
I roll back to my earlier version?

TIA,

Marlene
