Distiller and PDF printer on Windows ARM

[Martynas361873264vfq]

Hello, 

I Have seen announcement that a lot of Adobe products is compatible with Windows on ARM/Microsoft Copilot+ PCs.
Does this also include Adobe Actobar Distiller, and Adober PDF printer?

Thanks

Thank you.
I understand that Adobe Acrobat will not run natively with Windows on ARM. It is stated in this page that Acrobat runs via emulation https://helpx.adobe.com/download-install/kb/arm-processors.html
However, it is not detailed about Adobe Actobar Distiller, and Adober PDF printer.
As printers have limited support right now with Windows on ARM I was wondering what about Adobe Actobar Distiller, and Adober PDF printer. Would these work?

The page you linked has no reference to the specific question the OP was asking about.  They clearly asked specifically about the PDF Print driver and Adobe Acrobat Distiller.  To answer the initial question - in my testing the Adobe PDF Print driver does not currently work in Windows on ARM.  I haven't attempted much beyond the default install, but during installation it was looking for a specific .dll in a non-existent folder which I tried (and failed) to point to a different file of the same name.  After installation said it was successful there was still no Adobe PDF print driver in my list of printers.  As Microsoft's Print to PDF driver works this isn't a major issue for me, but I know many will be missing it until it's ported to Windows on ARM.

Thank you for sharing your actual experiance. This answers my question perfectly.
This means we will have to postpone moving to Windows on ARM, or think of a way to replace Adobe PDF printer.

I haven't tested this, but I did see from a differnet forum post asking the same question that if you use the 32-bit installer for Adobe Acrobat that the PDF print driver DOES in fact install.  I never used the Adobe PDF print driver even when it worked on my other Windows x64 machine, so it just means less printer clutter for me 🙂
