If you get this:
Invalid "Adobe PDF" printer properties
Do not change spooler settings.
Please select "print directly to the printer" option (from Adobe PDF printer properties "advanced" tab)
Try this:
Find the Acrobat printer in Printers.
Right click on it and select Properties then the Advanced Tab.
For me, "Spool print documents..." was selected.
The Fix: Deselect "Enable advanced printing features".
Click OK.

Able to fix by the spooling method & unclicking "eable advanced printing features"
- thanks;
what I would like to know is WHY did the issue occur in the 1st place;
W7 newish Laptop, with MS2003 package and Adobe Standard v8 is on the system; I regularly use print PDF from Explorer or a scanned imaged (large JPG); easier to send as PDF file; have been doing this for years and suddenly this error occurs; initally tried to restore system to an earlier version, downloaded latest version W7 Service packs etc - nothing worked until I saw your advice on the matter.
Thanks again

By the way; as I said, the fix worked but created a new issues:
1: after creation of the PDF file, will not delete the file from the print file queue list - status will randomly indicate "error printing"
2: does not request for a file name prior to PDF creation despite clicking the approproate boxes for this option
any advice?

Hi,
Go to Start / Run and type in "services.msc" without quotation marks, then press Enter or click OK.
In the window that opens (Services) look for "Print Spooler" on the right
Right-click "Print Spooler" and select "Properties".
Click on the "Recovery" tab and change all 3 drop-down boxes to "Restart The Service".
Make sure the 2 text boxes underneath say "1" in them.
Click Ok until you are back at the Services window, close it and you're good to go.
Go back into the properties of the "Print Spooler" tab and be sure to click Start to restart the Print Spooler service and it will restart the service immediately.
The Print spooler depends on the Remote Procedure Call (RPC) service. Is this service disabled? Go to services.msc look for RPC. Check state: Automatic
