Yes, but only using Distiller like a virtual printer, so you can' t have
summary link etc.
you can obtain only a document pdf like as which you obtain using a printer.

during installation you can choose "Uninstall previous"
but if you *don't Uninstall* your Acrobat 3 you can use this (ex: Word
remains set to use Acrobat 3) whenever necessary.
The real problem (imho!) is that if you want (or need) modify a pdf created
by Distiller you must choose in Process Option Compatibility Acrobat 3 (pdf
1.2)
I'm working with PM 7 and use Acrobat 4

good luck!
(imho using Adobe sw on Win luck are alwais necessary! :-) )

Bye!
