Default Printing to PDF?

Hey, I have adobe acrobat reader as well as adobe acrobat 7.0 professional.

I do a lot of file interchanging with mac to PC so as you may have guessed I'm really heavy on the .pdf's.

Adobe Acrobat Professional allows me to "print" web pages to .pdf format...but only in IE.

Now I don't use IE as my main browser I use firefox.

When I go "file" >> "print" it says "no printer found" - which is obviously b/c no parallel or USB port printer is installed. Does anybody know how I can set adobe acrobat professional up as a printer so I can print to it like I can with internet explorer?

Try to Print to the Acrobat Distiller "printer"
This should output the file in the format you need to work with. This is what Acrobat does anyway.

I don't have any printers. It won't let me add one either, it says "the printer spool service is not running" - though even when it doesn't give me that crap, there's nothing in there that would insinuate acrobat anything.

It throws a bitch fit b/c no actual printers are hooked up .

I'm pretty sure that you can fix your printer spool error by starting the spooling service:
Start > Run > enter services.msc and hit enter.
Find the "Printer spooler" service, and make sure it's running. You might want to set it to start automatically.
Once that's running, try adding a printer.
