Can't Print to PDF in Office for Mac 2004 in Leopard

If I try to Print to PDF from Word, Excel or Powerpoint, the
application crashes. Print to PDF works in all other applications.
Is this a known issue? If so, what is the timing for a patch? Are
there any workarounds? Thanks.

Works fine for me.
Can you offer any details of why your set-up is special?

When we print to PDF, the application simply hands the file off to the Apple
OS X printing mechanism: it is not involved from the moment you click
"Print".

So the problem belongs somewhere in your computer's printing subsystem.
Usually, it's the printer driver.

In one of the Microsoft applications, go to the File menu and choose
"Print"... In the top of the dialog box that appears will be the name of
the printer. Take careful note of it.

Now do this again in an application that works. Compare the names
character-for-character. That's usually where the problem lies.

Hope this helps
