Adobe's PDF Printer Driver Plug-in 8.5.1: "lost file" glitch reported

CNET staff
Adobe's PDF Printer Driver Plug-in 8.5.1 is out. It requires AdobePS 8.5.1 and Acrobat Distiller 2.1 or newer. [This too has been out since mid-April; we had previously noted to expect its arrival.]

However, one problem I noticed is that if you drag a document to the desktop printer, some applications (such as BBEdit), the resulting Acrobat PDF file ends up in the invisible "Temporary Items" folder on your startup disk. If this happens, you can use Find File to drag the "Temporary PS File.pdf" file to the desktop.
