How do I utilize multiple adobe PDF printers without having them share printing preferences?
I have an excel macro that references an output location where I expect my adobe PDF printer to output certain files. Because this is an inconvenient location for my general pdf printing needs, I created a second instance of an adobe pdf printer using these instructions Can I install multiple instances of the Adobe PDF printer driver? . Note that I am using Acrobat pro XI but the method is still valid. I am running into a problem, however, where if I change one printer setting it sometimes applies to the other. For instance I initially set up my primary printer to prompt me for a file location and the secondary (the one for the macro) printer to output to a specified location. It worked exactly as planned until I went in to the primary printer and changed the quality settings. I noticed that once I did that, the secondary printer had "Adopted" the exact same settings as the primary. Is there a way around this problem?
Thank you for your time,
