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

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?
