I am using Windows XP Pro, Distiller 6.x...I can not drag a PS file and drop on Distiller.
 
I "can" right-click on the PS file and chose Distiller to process the file.

Let me rephrase... It doesn't work on shortcut for distiller... it does work for shortcut to Acrobat (acrobat.exe)

No, dragging to the icon doesn't work and the settings for my PS file is already set to only open with Distiller. (acrodist.exe)... if this is what you are referring to when you say "map"
 
The more I think about it...it's probably in my Windows program somewhere, I just can't find out why... or where.
 
but thanks!

Can you create a shortcut on your desktop for Distiller and then drag the resulting file onto it to process with whatever Distiller settings you use for your files. I'm don't use XP so I don't know if that will work. Also, can't you map the .ps file extension to ONLY open in Distiller?

that doesn't work. My computer (through windows) is set to open files on double click .  I use the single click too often to activate secondary window menus.
 
it's beginning to frustrate me!

Have you tried a single click?

Subject: [PDF-Basics] Acrobat Quirk??

I am running Windows XP Pro and  Acrobat 6.0 Pro.
 
When ever I create a PS file and go to that file in the folder to distill it, then double click the .ps file,  the "Browse for Folder" window will come up twice.  I can close or cancel one window and it will still create the PDF in the folder I choose.
 
This happens when I double click the .ps file or choose the Windows option (when I right click on the file) "Open with Distiller 6.0" or "Open with" and then go to the submenu where it lists Acrobat Distiller 6.0
 
The only time it will not open up two "Browse for folder" windows is if I open up distiller first or use the Windows menu option "Convert to Adobe PDF"
 
Does anyone else experience this or can anyone tell me why this is happening??
 
Thanks!
Pat Walters
