Acrobat 8.1.2 - PDF Printer still not working & Distiller crashes on startup!!!

hello,

when 8.1.2 update released hopes great i'm realy disappointed!!!

after 3 times reinstalling cs3 suite (incl. clean cs) , updateing hours nothing seems fixed! oh, well, bouncing icon seems maybe because i'm not using acrobat more...

here's summary of specs , problems have:

osx 10.5.2 on intel 8-core mac pro w. 4 gb ram
suitcase fusion (also system fonts)
cs3 premium w. latest update(s)
xpress 7 + love bundle
country settings: lang. german, country austria

installed hardware:
superdrive
ati radeon graphic card
mighty mouse wireless + new wireless apple keyboard
24" dell tft monitor
2 x 500 gb hdd's

the main problem have create print pdfs xpress doc's wich impossible without distiller!
the 8.1.2 update seems fix "pausing pdf printer problem", pdf printer sends ps file distiller wich crashes!

i posted elsewhere, thought couldn't hurt repost here:

i had similar problem , figured out why (and fix it).
permissions messed-up on ~/library/application support/adobe/acrobat
i did not have read-write permissions in , distiller failing create ~/library/application support/adobe/acrobat/distiller 8/fontcache subdirectory.

i changed owner , permission on ~/library/application support/adobe/acrobat , problem went away.
