I'll be posting some comprehensive instructions later. In the meantime,
we need a lot more info, aside from complaints about the insufficiency
of other resources, which I'd be happy to comment on, you give us no
clues.
1) What version of Acrobat are you using?
2) What version of Word?
3) What OS?
4) What does the HP printer have to do with this? Don't use its drivers
to create PDFs. Are you, instead, having trouble printing a PDF onto
paper via this HP printer?
5) What exactly is the trouble you are having?

I'm having considerable difficulty converting a XP-Word doc to PDF.
While I found one posting that attempts to respond to this problem, it
is
unfortunately not specific enough (just download the Acrobat Distiller).
I've contacted Adobe's User Forum, but no luck there. I also contacted
my
printer manufacturer support site (HP laserjet 2100 series) downloads
and
found the directions for install lacking specificity (i.e., how does the
user locate the correct "PPD" file amidst the many included with the
download)?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions you might offer.
Phil
