Re: OT: Create AdobePDF button in Word missing

[Dov Isaacs <isaacs@xxxxxxxxx>]

Sean,

Quite frankly, the problem is that there are so many combinations
and permutations of OS versions, driver versions, and application
versions, that producing and maintaining a comprehensive matrix of
compatibility / support would be a career unto itself. It is hard
enough to test the current versions of applications and drivers with
the current OS and Microsoft Office applications, much less go
back in time and test old versions of Adobe applications for
compatibility every time Apple or Microsoft sneezes out a new OS
version or Microsoft Office version. 

(When I wrote and managed groups that wrote operating systems and
system utilities many years back, it was an absolute requirement that
all existing applications continue to work without modification with
new OS releases, no exceptions! That ethic certainly does not 
permeate the industry these days!)
