compatibility of IE9 with Adobe Acrobat 9 PDF printer

Hello,

 

I know from reading this document that the Adobe Acrobat PDFMaker is not supported in IE9:

 

http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/compatible-web-browsers-pdfmaker-app lications.html

 

Does this only apply to the PDFMaker utility located within the browser, or does it also apply to the Adobe PDF printer that is available as a choice if I try to print a webpage?

 

I ask because every time I try to print a webpage to PDF using the Adobe PDF printer (NOT the PDFMaker) using the following sequence of steps:

 

1. right clicking on the page

2. clicking "Print...",

3. selecting "Adobe PDF" from the list of printers

4. choosing a location for the destination .pdf file

4. click "Print"

 

a window pops up with the title "Creating Adobe PDF", but the progress bar never fills up and the PDF file is never created.  There is a spinning Adobe logo and a printer icon in the system tray.  If I double click on the printer icon, I can see the document I sent to the Adobe PDF printer.  The status is "Spooling".  Occasionallly the PDF document will eventually be created, but usually it isn't.

 

I have better luck in Chrome, but sometimes it too hangs, although the documents are eventually created.

 

Here are my specs:

 

Windows Vista Business 64-bit

IE 9.0.8112.16421 (both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions experience the problem)

Adobe Acrobat Pro Extended 9.5.5

 

To summarize:

 

Printing to PDF using the Adobe PDF printer and IE9 causes the "Creating Adobe PDF" step to hang forever.  I know IE9 is not compatible with PDFMaker, but what about the Adobe PDF printer?
