Re: windows 7 pro 64 bit publisher 2007 adobe acrobat 9 can create a postscript file then use distiller to create pdf. Will I be able to do this with acrobat XI?

AA9 includes PDF Maker for Publisher 2007. AA XI does not include a PDF Maker version for Publisher 2007. You can always create a PDF by printing to the Adobe PDF printer, but no bookmarks will be included. It should work in AA9, but you may need to do the updates.
