Can't set up printer for Acrobat 8 in Windows 7

I have read forums and tried to get Adobe PDF printer to function in Windows 7 and can't figure it out. Have tried many things and still not working.

Here is the latest I tried:

It seems ridiculous that this product can't be supported by Adobe. Many professionals do not need to pay for updates regularly and should not be PUNISHED for having older programs that work fine for our businesses. Why is there not an EASY fix?

Anyone???

Adobe's policy seems to be to support software for 5 years from release. After that, you are punished for not upgrading, if you want to see it that way. But even if they support software it doesn't mean they will add new features. Support for new operating systems, versions of Word etc. are most definitely new features, not bug fixes.

So, not supported in Windows 7 and well known not to work with 8.0.0. Did you update to 8.1 or later?
