Virtual printing

Hi,
We have a program in work that needs to physically run off a rather large print to complete. Its for archiving. The system is rather quiant ( read crap! ) Until now we have just used a dot matrix and joined the paper at both ends so it keeps spooling the print until its finished ( very high tech
)
Now I tried an adobe convertor driver to try to get it to print out to an adobe file but its having none of it. I tried creating a printer and marking it as off line...nope!
Any ideas on how to beat this one without continuing to waste paper and supplies?
Cheers
( a virtual beer for the winner )

I'm guessing by the context of your comment you are not using Adobe Acrobat?? AND, oh, I gotta ask....with a dot matrix printer (WOOT!!!), is this running in some current Windows program? Or a DOS based program? I'm not sure if a DOS program file can be sent to Acrobat?
wow, dot matrix....good times Plantwiz
