Adobe Acrobat 8's Distiller fails in Snow Leopard

I saw this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10084009 , which deals with Acrobat 8.0 but doesn't say whether anyone has found a way to get Acrobat's distiller to work on Snow Leopard. All of Adobe's help systems unhelpfully point to this: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/509/cpsid_50981.html .

With that being said, does anyone know how to get Acrobat 8's distiller in working order in Snow Leopard? If not, has anyone heard whether Adobe's planning to issue a patch?

Aluminum iMac 2.4 Ghz, Mac OS X (10.6), Adobe Acrobat 8

Distiller 8 works just fine for me. I suggest you post your question on the Adobe forums: http://www.adobeforums.com

No explanations how Templeton's Distiller 8 can work in snow leopard since it clearly doesn't with all the old workflows. You can no longer select the Adobe printer and you can't even drop a Word document on Distiller anymore.

The only way I've been able to find is to select "Save as Postscript" from the PDF menu and then drop the postscript file onto Distiller. (a true pain)

Does distiller still allow you to print via the normal drop down box 'Adobe PDF 8.0' rather than using the 'PDF' button, in the bottom right of the print window?
