When I bring up the Print screen, there is no option
to "Print to File" in XP. Is there a way to do this?

You have to add a printer with the port as "File" in Windows XP.
Use a printer model which you already have so that if you decide to
print the file on paper, the document will be formatted properly.

Earl: When I click Print on Adobe PDF files (unlike any other files) I get
"Print to File" dialog box with "Output File Name" space. I just want to
print a downloaded form in the Adobe window and don't know why these dialog
boxes appear. How to get past them to print? Adobe doesn't know.
