Prior to the Acrobat 7.0.9 update from 7.0.8, Acrobat Pro was working
tolerably under Vista. The only problem I had was some odd behavior with
saving files (it worked, it just behaved a bit weird). With 7.0.9, I now
can't get Acrobat to remember any of my application Preferences (even as
Administrator). I'd like to stay with Acrobat, but Adobe's come right out
and tossed their pre-8 stuff over the fence. I'll keep looking for an
alternative (as you said, Google is my friend). I'd seen many programs that
print to PDF. But, I haven't run across any that scan to PDF.
I'll also try to find some kind of suggestion program (probably on the
Office 2007 site): if they have an extension to save a document to PDF in
Office, they ought to be able save a scan to a PDF, too.
