I just transfered files and system info from a PC I am decommissioning.

Most of the system files got transfered over with PC Relocator.


I have Office 2000 Premium and on the old machine I had the PDF Writer

available in Excel.

In the new system, it is not there. I can't find this on the Office Premium

Install Disks. Any suggestions on where to find this?

I am a legal owner of this PDF writer but I don't know exactly where its
source is.

Any idea what files to copy over to the new PC from the old PC?
 
I don't own a pdf writer, so I don't have an idea.

But, in general, modern windows programs install so much stuff in various
locations (a folder & multiple subfolders, windows folder, windows/system
folder, registry for example), that it's next to impossible to copy it over
manually.

I've heard of utilities that do this, but I don't know any of the names. I've
always thought it was best to just reinstall from the originals. (Hope you find
them!)
 
The PDF writer comes with Adobe Acrobat, I believe. Have you tried
re-installing Adobe Acrobat?

I thought that Adobe Acrobat (now renamed to Adobe Reader) was just the program
that would read .pdf files--not create them.

I thought that you needed the full version (or at least the lite version of the
full version) to create .pdf's.

But sometimes this lite version will come with scanners. Maybe the OP should
check on those disks, too.

You do. That's the version that has the writer. MIght you have had "full
blown Adobe"?

Nope. There's Adobe Acrobat and Adobe Reader. Actually, there's

Adobe Acrobat Professional

Adobe Acrobat Standard
http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobatstd/main.html

Adobe Reader
http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readermain.html

Adobe Reader used to be Adobe Acrobat Reader, but Adobe Acrobat (without
'Reader') never was and continues not the be the reader, but is instead the full
product, now in full and fuller versions.
