10.3: A script to fix a broken Acrobat PDF Writer

After an archive install of Panther, it appeared as though Acrobat 6 was really broken. After a bit of research, I found this script from Adobe that seems to fix it for me. This is a shell script for re-installing the PDF Writer printer into CUPS. I take no credit for this hint, just posting what I found. This also repaired the Office.X buttons for PDF creation directly from a document.

[robg adds: I recently bought the Acrobat 6.0 Pro upgrade and was surprised to find that no PDF Writer was installed when I ran it for the first time. The above script also solved that problem for me.]
