    WHY are you looking for Distiller? Please be detailed. While it is still in Acrobat Pro, there are uses for which it is no longer appropriate, but bad and out of date advice on the internet doesn't go away...

      Good question... In fact I don't know if that is the best tool. I need to adjust a pdf template for the cover of my book which is provided by a self-publishing company (IngramSpark). They advised me to adjust it via Indesign or Acrobat Distiller. The first does not allow me to try a free trial period (tells it is expired, but I'm not aware having it never used) so wanted to try with distiller. Any suggestion?

      What form is the template in today? If it’s in InFedign form you’d need InDesign. If it’s already a PDF, what adjustments do you need? And, Mac or Windows?

      After installing the trial of Acrobat Pro I can't find anything that is Distiller in it.  In the past the Acrobat software had an option for us to make an PDF Printer as a system printer so any software in the computer can print to a PDF file.  Can anyone help me to set up a PDF printer?  Much appriciated.
