URGENT NOTICE TO ALL:
Please, TURN OFF auto-update for your copy of Adobe Acrobat. Stay with the previous version, build 23.001.xxxx. PDF Maker is part of Adobe Acrobat itself. And spread this around your office to your colleagues and IT department.

Instructions to help you check your version is on our blog, https://www.pubcom.com/blog/software-versions/index.shtml

The new version that's not working was released on June 6 — today.

Joseph, can you post the problem to the Acrobat UserVoice website? Let us know the post's URL so we all can chime to "encourage" Adobe to put some muscle on the fix! I'll let the engineering team know about it, too.
